Description

This is a superb, fast-flowing trail in the upper section, while the lower section requires you to do a bit of bush bashing through the mud! This singletrack heads down from the Northwest Access Trail, past the Link Track, heading east to the intersection with Ye Old Mill Road, Headset, and Hack Saws. Awesome fun.

You can take the high road or the low road. It's a lot steeper than it looks!
