      Two years since I last rode it and the trail has really matured The upper section that used to be boggy is now mostly on rock having worn through to the slabs But what used to be a superb loam forest section has now become very rooty

      The top open section has had much of the peat washed away but is rideable in the dry. The section in the trees is still ok

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
