Nice terrain for a tramp, very challenging to run. A number (lost count) of river crossings over slippery rocks. Some climbing involved, recommend gaiters and eye protection for overgrown foliage.

keywords:

runnable, technical, roots, mud, wide, well marked, medium slope, stairs (lots), bush covered, view (swing bridge)

comments:

Stairs to help with the steep ascent from the river valley. Mud the entire way in October, and of a slope just steep enough to slip with every step. Good run, the best section of the four.
