The rest of the enduro is fun yet challenging and definitely a must to have a go.

    Oh and yeah, definitely 2T territory.
    LoL, I was up there earlier in April, didn't know it was an expert trail until too late. Spent about an hour going through the swamp, then lots more fun at the bridge crossing which starts with a felled tree underwater which you can't see but can certainly feel. All on my tod so no assistance, other option was no good, probably hour walk back to base. And I like blitzing the fast not v technical trails! Just as well they've got tons of them too. Awesome riding there going up in a few weeks...Anyway made it through.

    The best bit, or at least made me feel bit better, was next day finding some fellar walking the track. He got a bike stuck down there too and they couldnt get it out, it spent the night in the swamp... Watch out for the leeches, nasty swamp, enjoy your ride

    have seen them also, when i was in Europe in 05 the Pirelli tech's were doing that to std MT32's back then, i asked why and they told me it was for less kicking in braking, esp in soft conditions,

    Yeh it was good. Tracks had all sorts the big loop was more flowing and open and the small loop had about 10 mins of first gear crawling along on a real tight track winding through trees. There wasnt anything realy hard there but would have been interesting in parts if was wet haha. The special stages... One was like a big MX track had table tops and doubles and some good hills. the other was a area on a hill all with bunting tape the whole way. lots of off camber corners was it was quiet dry up there.
