Notes:

This is a  great way back to the core trails from the Katore Rd area.  Descend either Katore Jumps or Paddy's Run and turn left up Spruce  Rd to Tickler.

Tickler has some tricky root steeps along a narrow and  sometimes steep descent (keep an eye out for more difficult A-Line routes),  however the downhill section is short before hitting the creek at the bottom.

The  official Tickler trail continues off  to the right however the tip I was given was to head left, ride up the creek a  short way then turn right up the K2 climb toward Redtank Rd / Pipeline Rd.  

While the  single track climb of K2 is  reasonably steep it wasn’t beyond me.   From the top of the single track I turned left up the access road until  I reached Redtank Rd / Pipeline Rd turning right up toward the end of Hot X Buns and the start of Be Rude Not To 2.
