Land OwnerKentish Council
Gnarvana has a little bit of everything. From rockgardens, big sending gap jumps, off camber sections and drops. It is definitely a dark Blue but can be ridden my more novice riders as there are less difficult options. That said it is a trail that should be ridden with care the first time down as the trail difficulty does vary along the trail.

aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

My new favourite trail
It's got everything from drops, gaps, and super challenging rock gardens where you have to pick the right line .
NOT ONE FOR BEGINNERS!! probably should be rated black diamond
