Great trail really enjoyed it. Had to stop and look at a couple of the steeper bits but when you hit them you realise it is all built really well.

Old school style trail, fresh cut and difficult to follow in places. Got a few very steep bits and loose ground. The start of the trail is around 30m east of the Masterblaster land drover crossing with a small pile of stones.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
