Description
- Head up Conical Hill, bag the peak and enjoy the 360 degree views (don't forget to check out the 'sun-dial' pointing out all the surrounding peaks).
- Start your way down the far side and on the first switchback there will be a sign for 'MTB trails' straight ahead. Take this route - you're now on the 'C-Line' trail and you're in for some sweet single trail goodness, just enough technical elements to get you warmed up.
- You'll soon come to t-intersection with 'Swoop'. Take a left here.
- After 500m, this trail will take you to a main intersection, turn onto the 'Swamp' trail here. You're now on to 2km of beautiful flowy single trail through young pine trees.
- At the end of this trail you'll be faced with the forest access road going straight ahead or running/MTB tracks veering right. Take a right and after a few hundred metres you'll join up with the bottom of 'Swoop'. Take this trail back up the hill and you'll pass the first intersection where you jumped off C-Line. Head all the way up to the main intersection again.
- From here take the middle track - a 4WD option between 'Swoop' and 'Swamp' - head across a clearing and you'll find yourself able to jump across to Majuba, a beautiful native forest trail which will take you down to the bottom where you can link onto the Woodland Walk trail.
- After 400m take the left turn to stay on the Woodland Walk trail and track all the way to the Scout Den.
- Jump over the road and onto the Easy Rider trail that follows the stream all the way back through Dog Stream Reserve to the top 10 Holiday Park.
- Onto the tarmac, take Bath Street, a right onto Hanmer Springs Road and you'll soon find yourself back in the village.
