Glenrock "ski jump"

Not sure the name of this track (it's up the northern end), but I call this bit the "Ski Jump". Smooth straight approach, and then it just drops away.

Great area of single trail in the centre of Newcastle. A once illegal area that in late 2009 has been audited and updated by trail building professionals. An example of how things should be done.

area between Jesmond Park & John Hunter Hospital has many technical singletrail for riding when other areas are wet as since most of it is on the top or sides of the hill they drain well & the soil in most spots dries quick.Area is used by people walking dogs & Moto riders so just be careful-area will one day be used as part of the bypass so at the moment there is no regs. up there!
