      Nice proper old school trail. Suggest looping back to the fire road by cutting left and left again at the end. The return trail to the right next to the burn has a lot of downed trees.

      Fast and rooty (unsurprisingly). Few good wee hucks near the end. You can just about ride it without braking.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
