I rode up there (500m?) on Sunday but didn't choose a good descent: East on a wide, gentle trail toward a road then got stuck in heather [it got better from Webber's Post to Horner]

So what's the best descent:

Fewest walkers
Most continuous to the bottom
Technically interesting
?

You can take that east route but turn north off it after the first few hundred yards, then drop down & cross the stream, short climb & then down to Stoke Pero chuch & Grannys ride to Horner.
