Great alternative for bottom of Rowantree Descent as it take you away from the walkers path. Past the cairn at start narrow single track soon leads to wide washed out rock garden. don't miss the sharp left into the trees and enjoy the flow only interrupted by track crossing. At bottom drop into the small Quarry and have fun with the line on natural berms and walls exit almost immediately onto path.

Access Info

To find start when descending Rowantree Path look for cairn on right just before forest starts keep hard left at cairn.

This trail is unsanctioned.
