Great off road descent on an open Byway.
Begins easily enough as a flat fire road but loosens up quickly into pebbles and occasional larger rocks. Deep drainage gullies begin just before the sharp right onto the lower section. The lower section consists of ancient flag stones and bedrock all exposed and uneven due to water damage. Exit onto Brownhill Lane and enjoy the view.
A really good fun descent with an increasing level of tehnicality, always wet no matter what the weather.
