Not for the feint-hearted Full of rocks, roots, twists and turns, short technical descents and tough steep pinches. Great views over the lake towards town though....
This is a difficult, old school technical cross country trail - don't expect to clear it the first (or tenth) time without putting your foot down. Challenge accepted I hear you say? That's the spirit!
