From the south it starts off as a nice wide gravel track, it then turns into a fun bit of single track at the top of the hill. After that the decent to the north gets pretty boggy and progress is slowed by a series of high stepped bridges.

Extremely boggy and partially unridable for the first few miles from Little Vantage. Improves closer to Carlops. Would consider riding again after a prolonged dry spell.
