Berm Baby Berm. I'd happily drive the two hours up there from Newcastle to spend all day going up and down that section. The blue descent from Buzzard's Nest to the Peel car park is a close second. Grin-tastic!

Pie run into Magic Mushroom as it is tight through trees, testing over the roots in the wet, and always a blast,
though not been down this year... ๐Ÿ™‚

Berm Baby Berm is fun too, this film is on the morning the tape came off and it opened, smooth as silk ๐Ÿ˜€

I like the trails that no one else knows about.

The Bitch and the Worm Hole for me, just before the black joins back onto the Red - because they're steeper, and nice and twisty ๐Ÿ™‚

My missus would say Deliverance or Britney Spears (+BBB) is her favorite sections at GT, as they're fast and swoopy.

Falla Brae, the very last bit from the fire road down to the bottom.

Broon Troot for me, love its slapdash feel, flows like a river (some slow bits, some fast bits, some waterfalls...)

Though there's tons of good ones. Falla Brae on a good day is supoib, Zoom or Bust can be lovely, love Pie Run-Mushroom Pie too (I had a proper moment of clarity on Mushroom Pie on one of my earliest rides at GT that just told me "See this mountain biking lark- this is what you do from now on."

Black climb to the tower (few trails in there) and broon. Would ride all sorts at GT but almost always do those two.

Hiking trail up to the zig zags under the mast is a fave - sharp climb in the trees clears the ale from the night before, then levels out when you exit the trees to a lovely view across the forest.

I miss Glentress - great trails.

Deliverance, followed by Falla and magic mushroom.

Didn't really 'get' spooky wood for all it's hype, I'd rather carry on up the hill and do the black from the boundary trail then follow the blue out of redemption to the top of super-G.

GT's ace for options though as the black/red/blue are roughly parallel so you can do the red clim then the black decent or the black climbs then come back down spooky wood, then all three run back to the visitor center.
