Começo em estradão com alguma pedra solta, virar à direita para entrar no singletrack, Flow constante, pequenas pedreiras fáceis de passar, trilho muito engraçado e curtido. No fim continuar no Corujeira Trail e ao chegar á levada, ir pela esquerda para apanhar a Patrica, se optar ir pela direita, apanha a Catripa.

Access Info

Quem vem da Fonte do Bispo para o Porto Moniz, é a entrada de estradão anterior ao da pista da Ponta do Pargo e Catripa, a entrada é no lado esquerdo, numa curva á direita.

This trail is unsanctioned.
