Jesmond bushland - map and trails and photos
Hey guys, new here and new to mountain biking but just a heads up I ride through the Jesmond bushland a couple of times a week and noticed there were no maps or photos of the area so am putting together some photos and trail details for all. Work in progress, more photos and tracks to go yet but I have been learning it myself over the last few weeks as I find new ways through it on a commute from Lambton pool back to my place.
Sygna Close Easy Access trail
Very easy access trail that is actually sealed in a loose bitumen. Trail ends with an option of climbing out to McCaffry Drive or up to John Hunter Hospital carparks.
Sygna Close Access trail
Access trail straight up the ridge line from Sygna Close. Another option to riders right is almost a sealed cycleway and requires a short climb up to the left further on.
End of McCaffry Drive access
3 way intersection, this path goes to Mccaffry drive, behind to Sygna Close or up the hill to the base of the John Hunter carpark.
Sygna Close Access trail
Access trail from Sygna Close, mostly fire trail width
Creek Crossing from McCaffry Drive access
Lowest point of McCaffry drive access, creek crossing only water after significant rain.
McCaffry Drive Access
Access off McCaffry Drive, can be overgrown with grass
McCaffry Drive Access
Access from a gate off McCaffry drive near the lights. Track is mostly single track but wider in places and has some steeper sections and mild wash aways. Can be a bit overgrown with grass at the top.
Steeper fire trail
Steeper of 2 fire trails from Jesmond park up to John Hunter Hospital. Trail starts about 100m along the cycleway from Jesmond Park to John Hunter and is a mix of loose gravel and short sections of bitumen on the steeper sections. Some small washaways.
