Moderate, swoopy singletrack breaks up the gentle climb through the forest, and there are superb views across the valley from the viewpoint. The fast exit into the quarry through Stoney Broke sets you up for the ascent to Eas Dubh.

Starts at the edge of the dam. Follow the forest road out of the car park to the start of the trail. See the trail map for details. Singletrack climb. Includes track features like drop-offs and stony sections.

      Clear today all the way. Jagged stones for drop offs.
