The Track has heaps of technical rock gardens which will get the hear pumping, also it has up hills that will burn your legs. but the view at the end is very spectacular. Well worth the pain. Highly would recommend it to anybody.

Make sure you watch out for horse riders, and dismount your bike to let them pass.

 Dry and good condition. 75% of the way to the lookout, there is one very steep incline with loose ground, and had to dismount and walk up - thank...
