Hahaha, I may or may not live right near that old forestry road off of Mutual Road... which puts you onto Krushkas, but it's not a rideable trail. Yet.

I know where your place is and can see that logging track on Hambo-maps.

Guessing it would be steep.

Is that through the cleared section before everyone got tree hugging and stopped the logging in Derby ?

While that area isn't as clear in person as it is in those mapping images you can still get up there pretty easily... but it's probably a 30 degree gradient in places so would need some serious switchbacks to make it workable... let me know when you're keen for a working bee hahaha

Question
If looking at a trip to Derby later this year, is self shuttle an option for black stump? See conflicting reports, but on here it sounded like it was fine (but local operators might be a bit cranky)?
We would probably have a full car. Not like I’d be doing 1 bike shuttles.

Just be prepared for congestion and be super careful. You want to be confident not only driving forward but also reversing up narrow gravel road if you have to backup to give way to a shuttle trailer. Last time we went we were forced off the road by someone self shuttling, and the trailer nearly rolled off the side of the hill.

Ask the shuttle crew for a CB call list, theres a few points that are important that are not signed... especially Cascade Cottage about 400m from the main street, on the bend before the hookey drive to Trail View house, then another called Blind Corner which is not on the list.

If you become a shuttle slut and work with the operators, they are 100%.

They also like when you pick up some dick with no CB and call the both of you through.

Grab a 5W handheld, it will pick up the whole shuttle road.

Call it through as "'private at trail view coming up', or if you pick a noob up, ' 2 privates at jump trail coming up, I don't think they have radio'... just remember the other noob cant hear.
