The terrain is a mixture... starts off as a typical stony/rocky path... then it becomes a bit more muddy and undulates up and down a bit... then turn off onto a narrow off-camber mud-path through heather which is a little bit dicey at speed... then it opens out onto the lower fell which is a mixture of greasy short grass and bracken.... 400mtrs of mud-caked road (very slippy) then a final half mile across undulating fields...

As downhill races go, it probably suits me more than something like Wansfell would... being at a gradient where you still need to put a lot of running effort in if you want to be near to the front... certainly isn't as consistently steep as say the descent at Wansfell...
