A varied and fun introduction to Dronley Woods, running along the western and southern perimeter of the forest. A short sharp climb from the car park sets you up for some swooping descents and root-covered sprints before breaking cover for a short weave between the gorse bushes before diving back into the trees for some twisting slaloms and multiple lines between the narrow trunks.
