This is an edge cut, off camber trail along the upper cliff edge that extends off the Kitchen Sink trail. It runs just under the trop edge of the cliff at the back of the Bermondsy Transfer station. It ends at the Bermondsy Hydro Access gravel road that leads down into the valley.
This is a challenging & high effort trail with a high consequence of failure in a few sections. Ride at your own risk.
Warning If follows an old fence line with old lengths of rusty fence wire embedded in the soil. This serves to tangle in spokes & frames. May even grab at a riders leg or punctirure tires.
Access Info
Access from the Kitchen Sink trail or from the Bermondsy Hydro Access gravel road
