A surprisingly tricky little piece of singletrack with plenty of lumpy bits to keep you on your toes. It's perfectly possible to run it west to east, but it seems to be more fun east to west - this also gives you the gloriously steppy run back down to the reservoir road.

Absolutely brilliant fun! Some techy climbing from the reservoir's eastern side before some little drops to finish back on the road to the west.

Techy climb but very doable on an ebike and a great decent with a couple of drops!
