A link up from the Helensburgh National track that heads down a very steep single track into a beautiful pocket of the rainforest valley. Plenty of loose sandy sections to keep you focused and small jumps and log rolls. Look out for flora and fauna in the area, it's a really special section of the area. The track follows the Hacking river for a while and you'll hear cars on close by on Wakehurst Drive in the Royal National Park.
Once you hit the bottom its a big slog out the other slog up the hill back to the fire trail. Ideally suited to ebikes this climb would be a killer in Summer.
From the fire trail head North West to link back up with the National trail and onto Helensburgh station or other tracks in the area. YEW
