Entrance off the 3G traverse, not far after the open grassy section. Top part is still very fresh and mainly not dug in, but is easy to find.

Once you are out of the trees and in the heather, the track swoops across the hillside with constant twists and short uphills into turns that reward staying off the brakes.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

This trail cuts off one existing trail, crosses another existing trail then ends on the exit of an existing trail. For this reason it is classed as dangerous. Please ride with care,
