The Old Coach rd
A great run down into the Wolgan Valley from up on the Newnes Plateau.
Approx 30km for either Lithgow or Clarence turn off the Glow Worm tunnel rd to the right on to the Old Coach road.
5km of gentle descent will to the locked gate. Over this and on the road becomes steeper and rougher. Big water bars and spectacular views.
Just watch out for the second gate. you cross a flat section with views over pagodas to the left. the road drops down again around a left and then back to the right in between two pagodas... this is where the gate is.
Enduro Loop (Rail easement)
This one follows a section of the old Newnes railway before hooking up with old forestry roads leading back to the Black Fellows Hand rd.
This is an easy way back to the picnic area from the end of the Whoops track but also gives access to as couple of other Single trail loops
The Whoops
A great run down a long steady fire trail with lots of little waterbars. Some sandy patches to keep you on your toes. Short but steep climb up to Waratah ridge rd to finish it
Escarpment Link Fire Trail
Grand View Drive Trail
Riverside Fire Trail
Berghoffers pass
Way back int he days of early automobiles people found that Mt Victoria pass was to steep for these new fangled horseless carts. As the team of oxen employed to drag cars up was expensive and slow a new road was cut tot he side on a much gentler gradiant. Berghoffers pass
I don't think it was use for long but it has lasted and now makes for an easier ride up through the escarpment and a fun descent. It's a great way to start and finish a loop of the Mt York Convict trails.
