Summary:
Mad steep and techy descent..

Review:
The drop in altitude is about 200 meters, yet only travels over 450 meters, IT IS STEEP. Over some of the steps, you will be on both of your brakes, yet still rolling over, regularly wet, roots steps and loose soil.
It is adviseable that you lower your seat, you will be right over the back wheel for most of the time..The 'stepping-stones' at the end are a bit of an annoyance as you have to put your bike on your shoulder and hike over the rocks across the river.. This trail is really fun if you want too mix up your regular XC rides, and dont want too descend down Box Hill the 'boring way', down Zig Zag road or down the grass..
