Heads straight along the fenceline before doubling back on itself. After that gets tighter and twistier with plenty of ruts and mud holes forming in the wet.

As of 2016 has had some repair work done to fill the worst of the holes with gravel, hopefully this will help it hold up a little better to rain.
