Back to the Playground

Return visit to the 'New Playground'.

Today we explored the northern area following an animal track into a section of conifer plantation - lots of obstacles here. We came across an area full of tame trails but they were everywhere criss-crossing and weaving in and out of the trees, hours of fun. Relying on memory from our previous visit naturally enough we got hopelessly lost. We ended up following a roller-coaster singletrack that gently descended towards a stream - yep before we knew it we were in mud hell. At this point I had the first 'off' of the day jumping off a rooty lip between two trees I hurtled straight into the back of my buddy and then into the upturned roots of a fallen tree.

We found so many trails that it will be a challenge linking the gnarly ones together but we will keep at it - more fun to be had.
