Jackass Descent

Highlight • Forest

Really fun long and rooty descent. Super slippy in the wet. Some embedded rock drop off's. Watch out for walkers on the corners!

Rock-a-Bye Baby Tree (Betty Kenny Yew)

Highlight • Natural Monument

In this spot you'll find the remains of a historical yew tree. Local legend has it that the song 'Rock-a-bye Baby' relates to a local character in the late 18th …

Tip by

9.77 km

Really wide descent covered in embedded and loose rock. Loads of lines to choose from, avoiding or tackling some nice rock drops and step downs. Some local goodness here, but it is a footpath so mind out for the walkers!
