Hagg Farm Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Hagg farm descent is a short, fast, naturally bermed, rocky blast. Watch out for a couple of gates and be prepared for a pinch flat if not tubeless. Great fun 😁

View of Snake Pass

Stunning views from the top up and down the snake pass. Technical descent down potato alley from here big rocks, gravel, mud, very tricky, then beautiful trail along the dam through woodlands.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of my favourite climbs in the Hope. Techy in places, steady incline, slippy when wet, dreamy when dry!
