A long, swoopy, fast and (especially when it's been raining heavily) rocky, gullied descent. At the time of writing the top is pretty washed out and technical - it's fine if you take it easy, though. The trail is also notable for the sting in the tail - if the weather is anything less than utterly bone dry the bottom of the trail is actually a stream. When the weather's bad (especially in mid-winter) you can be guaranteed to get wet feet!

Rode it today (08052025) thinking it would be the same, but the weather over the winter has washed all the concrete/cement/sand away and it’s a lot more sketchy than it used to be.

Rode this week (15/11/24) and it's been totally sanitised all the way down. Looks like they've poured concrete / cement mixed with sand. Still fun-ish to go down but no longer a challenge
