Notes:
The Northern Loop is a single trail and fire trail combo that runs from the Northern Descent and loops right back around.
From the rock bridge at the end of the Northern Descent there is a single track slight incline before meeting up with a wider fire trail coming up from the Water Treatment Plant.
The fire trail ends at the road, but there is a single trail off to the right that quickly takes you back up to the grass strip between the houses and the bush.
Whilst travelling along this grass strip it drops down into a gully that has a short steep challenge on both sides.
You can either climb this gully and ride the grass back to the top of the Water Treatment Plan Descent / Northern Descent or follow the gully back to where it meets the start of the loop near the stone bridge (as I have done in the video).
The gully drop is short and steep, for a small technical challenge (see video).
