| Granton is wide, open and fast. As Ryan says, bring it on... |
| Directions first. Get yourself onto Maroondah Hwy. Follow this through Lilydale, Healsville and continue through the Black Spur. There's a shop at the end of the Spur on the right that make great goog and pig sandwiches. Ok, keep going and you will see a turn off for Marysville on the right hand side. Take this road and continue around 5 minutes. You will cross a small bridge with a little creek. Keep truckin' for another couple of km. On the left hand side is a big clearing. Park here-this is your base. Now get all your gear on, or off depending on what your there for. Load you and all your crap into the cars. Looking back at the spur you will see a dirt road to the right. Take this-it will take you to the top, sort of.. It only takes 5 minutes and you will reach a gate. Stop here and start walking. Stop whinging, it only takes 5 minutes max. There is a tower at the top. The track starts here. A 4wd wide track descent is super fast and fun. Just follow this till you see a gate. This crosses the road which you drove up so be careful. Continue straight ahead. The track starts to flatten out and there is small singletrack sections off the main track. Just follow your nose-you can't go wrong. At the bottom take the left turn which will take you to the small creek/bridge on the Marysville Rd. Don't despair if you take the wrong road as all lead to the creek, I think! This creek is great in summer. Get your chauffeur to pick you up here. Thats it! There is another track here-see short track review. Jen |
