A bit limited with time, but impressed with the Trails – Blue, South then North give a nice step up each time. Found them in good condition to be fair. Friday did the Blue with the missus – very impressed – really liked the slate bits which cut the corners on the climbs, although failed on one! Then i went off to do the north loop on my own at 3.30pm. Nice technical climb to start with, fire road climb a pain, but the rest pretty decent,if slightly icy quite natural feel apart form the final zig zag decent, although a bit icy in places and on my own and getting late actually got off at that scetchy loose tight corner near the end
Sat, met up with friends again late, and redid the Blue and then the South loop at 4pm. Long but untechnical climb but thought better to bail out at the return before the top. If i knew that it did not take too long to do the fun final decent we’ve had pushed on to the top, although the last 10m had a nice ice streamn down it.
