Itinerary description
This track takes in an undulating open path and jeep track to above Rhodes Memorial. After this, a steep single track leads to below the Block House, onto the Contour Path and then down a very steep and technical descending path which joins up to the Woodcutters Path.
Although short in distance, the time it takes to complete this track is long due to the technicality of the decent, often unable to run at times.
