Summary:
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.

On the Stainburn side there are 3 routes graded red and black, all of them have had lots of trail building work done and although short, they are excellent. Lots of features and technical testers. On the main black trail, you could easily spend an hour down there, sessioning stuff and playing around, but everything can be bypassed.
