Summary:
This trail does not exist

Review:
The high voltage trail was planned and approved but building never started. NEFA who built and are still responsible for the powerline trail found there was not enough interest from people willing to do the manual labour involved in trail building. NEFA's numbers are few these days and the massive effort, time and money they put into making the powerline trail cannot be repeated without some major help from plenty of people who would commit to seeing the project through to the end. It would be nice to see the plans for the second trail taken up by the next generation of committed mtb enthusiasts.

Great for beginners

Review:
I've just started getting into mountain biking and with this being the most local trail its where i've spent most my time. Its enough to test beginners and make you improve quickly but imagine it would still offer enough for more experienced riders to have a laugh on too.

it has recently has a bit of attention paid to it and a lot of the over grown bushes have been cut right back (as of 20 Sep 2011)

Defo worth a go especially if your pretty local, its not very long as you can see but there are a lot of little paths that mean you can ride the same section a few times without going right back up to the start every time.

Needs improving

Review:
The sign and official website says it will take 45 mins to do but i finished in about 15-20mins. Its ok for something to do if your bored but not an all-dayer. Single track needs maintanance and not enough signs, i took a wrong turning.
