Itinerary description
This trail includes recreational strolling areas in scenic agroforestry settings. The trail system leading to the forest reserve and continuing to an extent within limits of the reserve are based on old estate roads and tracks established to service crop production in the past and are generally well maintained (hiking level is easy). These may be considered more of a walk on gentle hills along a hard packed trail over a short distance (1 h or less). The trail starting at the foot of the mountain towards the summit varys in their levels of difficulty (moderate to difficult, 3+ hours). The moderate sections of this trail covers steep terrain with lots of elevation gain, at times over rocky and muddy parts, but are generally well worn and free of encumbering vegetation. The difficult sections may be technically challenging (e.g. requiring the use of hands) with considerable elevation gain, often over steep rocky and muddy terrain, and would not be completed unless one is in good physical condition.

We did this trail west to east. Starting at the Jouvay chocolate factory (Victoria).
After an initial wrong turn on the road we found the trail. At the upper end it had been recently marked with pink/ orange tape around trees which was essential. The descent is very slippery at the top, with some ropes. We did it on a dry day. It would have been much harder in the wet. Views amazing. A great day out
