A trail from the end of Carnkie to the Great Flat Lode. It is a climb from the road up to the lode. It starts on tarmac and as you pass a house on the left the trail becomes rocky and steeper, possible granny needed. You then turn right at the top and follow the (surprise) zigzag trail to the top. Not a difficult climb, but will leave you breathing a little heavier at the top

      Enjoyed this today in the sun. A little breezy, but it was good to get the heart pumping!

      Soooo much more fun the other way, get the doctors dangle out on the bends.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
