Quite tight, natural trails. Some optional bigger stuff like small road gaps. Some nice steep bits, some fast rough bits, all good fun. If you're doing the uplift you'll have a good time. Duncan is a top bloke and its a good atmosphere. Cream teas at the end is a nice bonus ๐Ÿ™‚

There is some easy stuff, & there is some pretty tough stuff also.

If you stick by the uplift road, most of the tracks are short and easy, if you follow the ridge round, they are varying degrees of difficulty.

If you ask either of the sons of the uplift guy, they can show you some of the (very) steep stuff.

Nice vid that.

Great to see trails bikes and attire mixing it up with the armoured big bouncing bike riders.

I can still see Duncan and his lads faces when i turned up in xc gear on the SS for an uplift....Class!
