It is a long trip to the top, 2+hrs, but well worth the view and the ride down. Trail is an old quad trail that is mainly used for hiking. Parts of the climb are quite technical. Quads are no longer permitted but MTN bike are!

      All cleared. Clearly heavy wind event brought down alot of trees but the trail society or a Good Samaritan cleared the lower section to the first...

      Pretty much unrideable beyond 3.6km mark due to the volume of downed trees
