    Great hard to find track. Some good good flowing single tracks with great semi technical short rocky climbs.

    Park in the ANSTO carpark (they allow mtb riders to park there) ride to tip entrance and follow tip road all the way around to the right of the tip, follow chain wire fence which will be on your left untill it ends.you will see the start of the single track(sign posted).the track itself is great, plenty of drop offs, crazy climbs with some not bad descents to get the heart pumping.worth a visit not as many climbs as wylde but more dificult.all of single track loop is sign posted.happy days

    One of the best rides I've done, especially so close to home. Its such a shame the authorities have recently placed a no bicycles sign here, it is now a designated walking trail. It makes me sick that our governments don't recognise our sport and close trails like this. I feel especially bad for the mountain bikers who have built and maintained many of these trails, only to have them taken away.

    rocky sections up and down ,winding single track with drops and jumps different levels of north shore stuff from easy to crazy also a well maintained downhill run with A and B lines so many trails you can create heaps of diferent ride options allthough it is easy to become confused with direction and distances and listen out for motorbikes!* Review edited 10/21/2009* Review edited 10/21/2009* Review edited 10/21/2009
