Not really ..but when you start climbing instead of taking the really steep ramp up on the fire road you take the first right turn ..still a climb but it takes you past Accelerator ..keep going until there is a green box on the right and a turn off on the left ..a very rooty climb crosses over the bottom section of Transmission and brings you out on another fire road where you turn right and just keep going to Poultys ..cuts out about half of the fire road you have taken ..?.This is the route we took, straight up to Poulty’s from the Forest drive

Four runs today was 25 miles and almost 3000ft of climbing. Knackered after the 4th run. Section 13 is on the other side so we didn’t venture there today
Took her on a blue off piste yesterday as a warm up run, Ant Hills on Trailforks (there’s a MASSIVE ant hill on the trail). Absolutely scared the shit out of my other half. It wasn’t a blue! It was a death run through the forest finishing with what could only be described as a cliff ?
Can you describe the short cut ?
I was going to say it's too hot .. but then that would be training wouldn't it ??! I've got a shagged tendon and a broken big toe (rock flew up at speed) so having a recovery day, back at it tomorrow.Zimmer ..shouldn't you be out training for your summer outing ..?

England winning the Euros is a long way off ..they have won their first group match and have probably their easiest match coming up against Scotland later in the week ?..but good excuse to get out for a ride ..?Decent burn round the singletrack to celebrate England winning the Euros or something.

This particular trail consists of the Top part and a Bottom part. The top part was fine, the bottom part is virtually impassable.
So I was quite excited when I saw 5 guys at the top from the commune (council) with all the gear starting to tidy ..
Took them 1.5 hours .. to do what normally takes me 1 hour including tidying (I lived 500m down the road so used to do it).
Thought I'd give it a go again at the end of the ride .. Disaster. The trail is just littered with Gorse and Branches, dangerously so !
Amaziningly - the bottom part, which needed doing - they didn't touch !
Not wanting to seem judgemental .. but MORONS.
It natural - birds do it all the time to reduce their weight for a faster climbs, I say give it a go ! ....No excuse to ? yourself on the way down ..give that saddle a wipe ..back here in England I've given up on doing the bottom parts of a trail...tops only now ..??
