The only way is up! Great when dry, a bit of a slog when wet. The terrain is mixed, with some recent maintenance on the shared-use path at the start. This soon gives way as the trail forks, then flattens out into a rutted section across the top of Rushup Edge. More stunning views open up down the valley.

Watch out for the ruts that could cause issus es as they are deep enough to cause pedal strikes. The views are spectacular though.

Very rutted climb, in quite a few places I ran out of momentum due to pedal strikes in the deeper ruts. Worth it for the view and sense of achievement
