Great trail when its dry but really slippy and boggy after rain. Runs straight, through a narrowing line in the forest. No real technical trail features. Lots of roots and a few loose rocks. Best to avoid when very wet.
Access Info
Take Forest Track Up from small pull-out car park to north east of the forest.
