A short but punchy trail...a few technical sections here and there with some tight single track which usually follows techy roll downs thrown in for good measure.
Ends up at Seaforth oval, where you can come back on other trails back North.
It'll take you a few runs to get this trail dialled in but it is good fun - but be wary of Red Belly Black Snakes

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Nice loop combining flowy descents, technical climbs, and fun cornering. Start from the Frenchs Forest...

      Great short trail that has a few technical bits and some not too big drops Wink Best for an experienced rider.
