 Rain shower about half an hour before I rode up, but not enough to cause any issues.

      Lol ignore me, I got this mixed up with Juniper Top, which I've just realised isn't on here.

      Pls use Happy Valley to climb and China pig to descend instead, this is really rare and biodiverse chalk grassland that can't take the damage bikes cause.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
