Mountain biking

We tried on Gravel bikes - doable, but so easy to come off
(and get empaled on the Barbwire fence 😬)

A classic Peak descent and a must visit if you like rock! Very spicy, technical and super rocky descent with a mixture of loose, embedded, and bedrock. It was mostly dry today, but it does have little streams running through in places. I'd rate it very technical, and maybe not for a beginner, super fun though. It's a nice wide track at about 2m.

Recommend but not as a climb. This is definitely a trail to go down not up. Technical, and challenging in all conditions. Pick your lines well and stay relaxed.
