Open flowy start, gets tighter & a little rooty, gets steeper more roots, some steep rooty turns through trees, a drop and ya pretty much done.

Its good fun, my favourite run at Aston, more technical and slower than the flat out open run of Surface to air.

Im sure youtube will have some vids of it

There is a vid on the Aston site I will link to it

Its worth a visit, bear in mind tho if its wet the roots can get slippy
