Land OwnerCable Bay Adventure Park
Courthouse Our newest addition to the trail network. A long decent woith 2km top to bottom. Access via Gamble trail only, terrain drops a lot of elevation, flow and loamy in the upper section with a couple of optional drops and off camber lines. You then approach a long techy ridge line that brings you round the front of a Knoll with an A line - B lie option here. Dropping to the forest floor through a series of tight, flowy "S" bends and finally off the brakes for a bit before the last bits of decent through beech forest territory. She's a stand out from the crowd thats for sure! Exit see's linking onto Poacher and then livewire
