The hills are steep and the ground muddy but with plenty of grip. There are bomb holes, jumps and loads of bumps plus a few pretty quick loons on this naturally challenging track which runs through mature woodland before heading out across the Downs.

But you can be a poor rider and still have fun by avoiding the most difficult bits, Its close to the Ridgeway and the Fairmile. So if you are a road-legal trail rider its even fun to get to and there is always plenty of hot tea and burgers on tap.
