A great fast segment of trail, starting just above Avon Dam Reservoir with stunning views across East Devon. From here, it's a tight slalom through bushes with some small drop offs, eventually opening up into fields for an amazing grassy fast run.

Really great bit of trail in either direction. Very gravel bike-able.
