Year Opened2018
Forks off Danger Mouse about half way down and joins an old track for about 50 meters, which is a nice fast straight to clear the mud from your tires. There is then a nice drop over a fallen tree, about 2 feet with a good landing, and then fast turns with catch berms until near the bottom where it is a more natural rut which is starting to cut in and a steep exit.
Access Info
Turn left at the obvious fork about half way down Danger Mouse
