A really long descent section at Nant yr Arian through the trees, with some great berms and tabletops as you twist and turn through the trees. The rocky surface means that it runs pretty well year-round, too: although you're more than likely to find a few puddles in the winter or after a lot of rain.

Take care where you cross the fire road and paved road. It's a cracking run and well worth the long climb back up again on 'Leg Burner'!
