After the fire road climb from the trail centre, this is the first section on the red trails, and splits halfway down from the blue-rated 'The Half Pipe' descent.

Expect narrow, twisting and bermed singletrack out in the open across heathland with some really spectacular views across the valleys of Mid Wales as you ride around one of the corners!

There are a few rock sections to roll or play with, as well as some small drops. The trail ends with a right turn onto the fire road.
