New (2017) single track that skirts around a particularly steep part of the summit track. Easy gradient single track and nice berms through regenerating bush. Popular with joggers and dog walkers though so you might want to make some noise going around the blind corners...singing is good

       Great way to get up the ridge, but for amateur like me be aware this is now a narrow goat track thru the Bush so you need some confidence to be able to stick to the track..
