The trails to left of Elephant man (from the top) have had a lot of work recently and are amazing fun to ride now!
There looks like another climb back up that isn't as steep which is a bonus and takes you to another couple of awesome trails. One has a wicked new ending with a stone step down 👍
Am loving that little hill right now 🤟
What do you like?
So many trails!
What could be improved?
More natural features please 🤟
