      Tree over track at the start .
      also slippery at points.
      but a lot of fun all round.

      Tree down with a beehive in it. Needs to be cleared as it looks like it will continue to fall over the track

      This a fantastic, technical downhill with some flow but some techie sections. Much fun!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
