    Tips

    Completely ruined by tipping hardcore down and rolling it out . It’s so smooth now

      May 31, 2019

      Watch out for the drainage ditches which can be rather dangerous as they are deeper than most drainage ditches

        February 24, 2019

        Descent from Rushup Edge down towards Barber Booth, mainly loose rocks and small boulders with occasional gullies of concreted in stones probably for anti erosion or drainage. A couple of gates to go through once you get near the bottom.

          Much easier to ride down than up. Saddle down and go for it.
