      Mixed bag of a trail - quite wet today, and not always clear where the line is.

      A couple of small trees hung across the trail about half way down. Have been there for a couple of years so stable. Can be ridden under if ducking.

      Track disappears in places due to standing water in places. Rides well in places but awful in others, take a slow one to start up?
