Reviewed 24 May 2020, 11:46am

Did this trail on 22 May 2020. Was heavily overgrown and several fallen trees/bushes on track.
Not a purpose built single track MTB trail, seemed more like a hiking trail. Not particularly interesting but quite challenging in the steep ups/downs and washed out sections.

Supported by great organisations

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
