About three quarters could be a black run at a trail centre. The other bit is steep, tight corners over loose rocks.

Access Info

Standard Golfie climb, turn right at the reservoir. Climb the landrover track, take the left fork on the first crest. Follow the furrows down past the chimney thing from the old reservoir. Turn right just before the tree line. Once in the trail, keep right at the split with BigBaw
