rocky switchback down into youlgrave Options

[old dude]

glynn riding down the rocky switchback into youlgrave,
it,s a lovely bit of singletrack with a couple of tight turns, and a bit steep in places,
with plenty of opportunities to get it wrong,
only about 250m, but imo well worth riding'

I've always liked that bit of trail. Nice little section that adds a wee technical challenge on a trail that's generally fields. There's some video of it on my site from ages ago.

One of my mates is not so keen on it: he broke his arm on it years ago! Compound fracture and he was riding on his own!

Yeah the ambulance managed to get down the lane to the bridge at the bottom.

This was what happened: before and after

he had a nightmare logistically too with being on his own. I.e. bike at scene, car parked elsewhere and him in hospital!

Is that the drop down to the river and bridge, if so i sort of remember that drop as very steep indeed
