Review:
I really like this trail but it can get very wet and when it does it stays wet for a while, this is because not much light can shine on the rocks because of the thick trees and things can get very slippy. The next time i go i will definatly wait for a dry spell :D
It is a very technical and very fun though. If you havnt been and you can ride along technical rocks then you should definatly go. Its brill!

Great place for improving your skills and testing your nerve.

Review:
Norwood Edge and Stainburn are two separate woods, cut in two by a main road. All the routes in both woods are short and technical or very technical test pieces. Alot of the obstacles will have to be sessioned. So, If your wanting a lung busting XC day out then don't come here, go to somewhere like Dalby Forrest. Although the trails are short, there are plenty of them, some obvious, some not so. You can easily wile away a day here, having fun and testing your nerves. Pads are recommended. Alot of people turn up with 'big rigs', but all the trails here can be done on a xc hardtail.

On the Norwood side of the road, there has not been much development, however there are lots of lines marked out. There is one trail that has had some development. This starts at the mast and works its way to the summit cairn, various lines off the summit to try, then back down thru the woods. If you can find the line, you can work your way down thru the woods to some northshore over a stream.
