It's been there a few years with some subtle changes to the the bottom section in its time, ace trail and oh so fast....

I always call that the Bluebell run. Love it.

It's had a few names over the year's Plantation run, matt's and Bluebell surprise on strava etc. Sure is good fun and fast in the dry. If you look hard enough there are plenty of other great trails within Ellwood's golden mile.

That trail's great fun. Easy to get carried away though, which is fine in the dry, but I've had a few 'look where you wanna go, dont look at the tree' moments when its leafy and wet. Always known it as Bluebell Run

Well the beauty of the FOD is that the more you ride it the more you find. If you knew where all the good stuff was first off you would miss out the fun and experience of discovering it.

The other beauty is that there is always new stuff being created as old trails disappear 8)

I noticed Sunday you dont need to walk up the knoll to do the motorbike trail anymore.Nice litte bit passed the green barrier.With the Bluebell trail makes alot of good stuff in quiet a small area over there.
Trimix very true not many places in this country where new trails keep popping up and you can find old trails.
