WAS : "Berm, Berm, Berm, Berm, Rock garden, Berm, Berm, Jump, Jump, Berm, steep chute, (brake pads gone), berm, berm, Finish, Fall over.

Hugely over simplified but you get the general idea. For realism throw in a healthy dose of steep, a scattering of scree and a handful of religious expletives."

NOW: "Revamped over the period of a year. Reopened 28th October 2024. Entire trail has been rebuilt and is now an entry level trail, easier than NYNY. Berms for days. All drops are rollable, optional jump off the main line and the steep exit chute has been replaced with a more mellow ending."

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Fast lots of loose rubble in the berms, not easily rollable drop off sections in places, but a great trail flow lay and fast

      Lots of fun today in the snow on this trail. Some sections clear of the white stuff but all together brilliant fun today.

      Boggy bit near the top, rest is pretty fast and loose. Shale isn't skiting about as much as it used to and seems to have "bedded in" somewhat.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
