A continuation Restricted Byway on track that leads to a short climb up a sandstone path used to access all trails on this side of woods. Very easy as a descent and easy, technically, as an ascent BUT steeper and harder physically than a Green trail would suggest. May need a walk at the steeper section for less experienced riders.
