Gravel/Dirt doubletrack trail, with a short section of singletrack at the top of the hill. The upper section of the trial runs through some woods and has a few rocky drops and potholes, nothing too technical but in autumn these can be covered in leaves and hard to spot. Lower section is flatter and faster. Gets a little muddy in winter and dries slowly due to north facing and tree cover, however it remains ride-able all year round.
