Surface isn't as good as Forrestburn and the 'drop-in' at the top is steeper than what it looks! Take a brush as there's quite a lot of debris from the trees above as you get further down the road. Similar width to Forrestburn but barriers and walls at the side - ouch! Worth a run if you're a headcase!!! - :wink: - I may join you...

We hit this hill the other day, long long walk up with all the gear. The top part is pretty cool, fairly steep with a slight left hand turn into a run out. I got bored after two or three runs, so watched Neil had a toot and enjoyed the sunshine.

Maybe a practice hill for next summer with a picnic for all you family guys out there!
