Pequeno single track, com início mesmo em frente do fim da pista das portões, em frente a lareira ao lado de cima do portão do montado do pereiro, basta atravessar a estrada e siga, estava cheio de folhas mas tem sempre escapatória. Vai dar a estrada antes de entrar na pistas dos Portões/Fontes. No final apenas tem uma zona com algumas pedras e um drop para a estrada, mas basta largar travões.
É bom que seja usado para permitir a ligação Lareiras/Portões.

Access Info

Ao lado de cima do portão sul do Montado do Pereiro vão encontrar uma lareira para fazer pic nic, é logo do outro lado da estrada, lado de cima do ribeiro.

This trail is unsanctioned.
