Nothing to loose your nuts over. This short section is possibly more grade 4 than 5, downhill shortcut when riding Elastrator bottom to top, a quick wiggle through the matagouri and Corokia which is glorious when it's in flower. Think tight, flowy XC trail.

Access Info

Any full loop of Perenuka is likely to take you past Little Elastrator. My recommendation is up Ewe Turn, take your pick of Auger, Woolly Jumper or Bull Rush, all lead onto Wuffler then dive off onto Elastrator, duck onto Little Elastrator before rejoining Elastrator. Then follow your nose up Wazzamatagouri before hanging a left onto Pork Pie, the classic Perenuka trail. This spits you out onto Yabba Dabba Doo. Be fearless and hook onto Rock I Am (don't forget to huck), then rejoin Yabba Dabba and either start another loop or follow Rattle Your Dags out to the carpark down the fun tree-lane bomber trail. Bish Bosh.
