Description

TOP HAT trail entry is near the Park Lane trail exit. This trail climbs up a headland to a magnificent grove of Kauri trees at the top. [Hence the name] You have to push the bike up part of it and then past the trunks of the trees, but it is a great view. After the trees there is a fast descent which swings through the trees and at the bottom a sloping bridge across the stream. Trail gets a bit muddy near the bridge. Water diversions and steps have been added to help riders control their descent. It joins the Tank trail and takes you back to Park Lane.
