September 11, 2025, Longmoor Ranges - Woolmer Pond section

A really fast section of gravel track which is great ride on a hybrid, gravel bike, mountain bike. The military may sometimes be shooting internally, but the track is almost always open for use.

Can either remain on the peri track (flat, open) or join the Shipwright's way (narrower path, wooded and pretty). Both reasonably flat
