Natural path that has been ridden in, forming a muddy short track with some exposed roots and often covered in puddles. Can be ridden at speed but also enjoyed slower.
Good fun, but watch out for the narrower trees at the end, and walkers when joining the main path.

Access Info

Track starts perpendicular to the main path at the rest bench at the top of the hill. Keep going straight past Katie's Trail.
