Description

The top section of this trail is easy enough, but it soon starts getting steep, then it gets even steeper and then steeper and slippery!

After that, there's a short muddy section as the trail levels out and comes to an end where it meets Ye Old Mill Road. Make sure you have very good tread on your tires and very good brakes before riding this trail. There are sections that are too steep to walk. Wet weather conditions make this trail much more difficult.
