OSM Way
A really interesting XC style trail that winds up and down the hill. One moment you will be shooting down a rocky gulley, then you will have to get on the power to get up the hill again. There are no real jumps in this trail, it is more of a techy trail with some rooty climbs and descents. Takes quite a lot of fitness to do this quickly.
