More like a grade 2 or very gentle G3 trail with a couple of short steeper sections followed by flatter bits to recover on. When combined with Coaster makes for one of the best G2 loops. Wide bench which is good for letting the e-bike maniacs.
Is now under 5-10m high pine trees so well shelter from sun and any wind. Above comment relates to Zeezeetop i think as this does not lead to Megalicious.

We rode this track on 3rd June 2021. The track consists of a not technical but a steady climb through open replanted land and climbing to the Old Farts lookout where you can catch your breath on the Old Farts seats there while looking across the valley to Mt Tauhara. Then a fun downhill via Megalucious. The track at this time was in good order.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
