Notes:

Katore Jumps was a trail I’d not expected to ride, but on  the final day I opted to ride it as an alternative to Paddy's Run on the way to Tickler.

Katore Jumps is an old skid road and therefore it runs  pretty straight down to Spruce Rd and the start of Tickler.  As the name implies Katore Jumps is a jump track, full of gap jumps, rollers and a few  doubles however by the heavy ground cover it doesn’t appear to get a lot of  traffic so I would recommend scoping the jumps first.

As seen on  the video I’m not a huge fan of jumps so I went around virtually all of them,  something easily done.  Listening to  other riders at the trail head they were saying that most of the jumps at the  bottom required some speed checking.

If you are  more into the descents than XC then Katore Jumps would be a better and faster alternative to Paddy's Run if you’re heading toward Tickler.

Katore Jumps starts from Katore Rd, a short way uphill beyond Paddy's Run and comes out on Spruce  Rd just short of the start of Tickler.
