Poor Brian the angle gives him match sticks for legs Donald! Yes I recall the track is challenging because it's constant tree roots - quite slow travel cos you gotta watch your feet all the time
Check out our Christmas pack giveaway winner - Thanks Debbie Wanhill for sending us the pic and for Trekandtravel for donating prize.Thanks Perry Outdoor Education Trust for the pack I won from you last year. It was perfect for a one night bush trip this weekend!
