    This is a super fun, steepish, rocky, rooty, techy, spicy in places, thrutchy (and indeed occasionally nadgery) descent through Blacka moor.

    Horrible as a climb, mind you – but if you're pointing in the right direction, drop your saddle, hunker down and prepare to have some fun!

      Starts off fast and fun and becomes fast and scary.

        Such an epic descent and one that should be skipped after heavy rainfall. Suitable for experienced riders due to the speeds and rocky nature of this trail.
