Good pretty steep new trail but "quite a long ride to get to and after" for such a very short fun of only few minutes fast 'zigzaggy' descent!

Haven't tried it yet but trying to plan a route to session it as it does look fairly short. It doesn't look like there's an easy route back up once you're down unless there's some forest road I don't know about to the east. It looks like the quickest way back up again would be to do redemption climb then up to Boundary trail via spooky wood climb?? I hope I'm missing an easier route as it looks epic. Thanks Trailfairies!

The trail ends on Deliverance, so the only real way out is via the Redemption climb or to push up Deliverance itself. Having walked up Mild Peril multiple times during the build I certainly wouldn't want to push a bike up there!

The best way is to ride out to the end of Deliverance and then up the Redemption climb. At post 87 (a crossroads where you can turn left to go along to Ewok Village, or go straight on to get to Pie Run) turn right and go up to post 22- this short switchback climb takes you back to the same fireroad Mild Peril starts on so turn right. (this also takes you past the top of Broon Troot)
It is an effort though- we built the trail where it is to shortcut Deliverance as part of a lap and for race stages rather than for easy lappability. Please don't push up either trail!

Great mid ride DH section with 22 switchbacks that come up quick one after the other. Long way to get to and long way to get out. A good semi-natural trail and well worth the travel. Quick note is that there's no way to get up and down to session it. Once you're down, you're down.

First try on 1st July, it was quite wet after a week of rain and I think the trail might be suffering a bit from the tweedlove enduro - fairly slippery with a layer of silty mud on top. Super steep, about -20% i think. I had a few moments of mild peril when the front wheel was lacking traction under braking in the mud, which is rare for the Magic Mary. I imagine it will be proper fun in the right conditions. There's no real way to session it but you can form a nice red/black loop by continuing on the fire road from spooky wood climb then it's quite easy to find when you hit the forest road after boundary trail/shane mcgowan.

Nice wee decent. If you go down deliverance a bit just before it turns for redemption a walkers trail is on the left tough push up but better than alternative.
