Description: Nice figure 8 track with a large loop and small loop with technical sections off the double/quad track.
Some hard climbs and sweeping sections which will make you grin like a cheshire cat. Voted runner up in
trail of the year this year, has a lot or nOrthshore sections which are tough if you aren't used to them
(300m continuous section) if you are after jumps, I believe they are creating a downhill/air trail on the
inward loop. Well worth the trek, family friendly too, weekends are busy, but make for a safer ride and
users seem to be typically Northern (super friendly). Go..enjoy..survive Hully Gully!!

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by butlerjamesp on December 2, 2011
Really good trail with sections for everyone, hully gully will test your nerve with 15+ foot berms leading to a hardcore section which are technically demanding rated black although red/black is more appropriate. Will take 1:30-2hrs for a competent xc rider, average folk will take a bit longer, depends if you stop off half way round for lunch in the picnic area. Foresver being improved and upgraded by volunteers, united utilities and the forestry commission.
