This is a crazy decent. starts out as a nice gravel track, but quickly turns into a steep loose slate decent, with some big slabs of slate mixed in for good measure. once you get past the slate, there is some steep grass tracks, which then mellows out into less steep grass tracks.

Attempted in may 2021, and had to walk the majority of it. we where on full loaded gravel bikes, definitely MTB territory!

Awesome views, well worth it, even if you walk it.
