Description: Pin Dale (aka Black Rabbit) is a BOAT that runs through an old quarry, this makes it popular with our motorised friends.
The top sections turns in off a flat track onto a sloped section with dirt at the side and many assorted loose rocks mainly down the middle. This continues for 200m before a left bend, later followed by a right, this section has the largest rocks. The track then opens out with the main quarry on the right. Be aware there is a large drop into the quarry a few metres off the side of the track at the top of the open section. There are a few line options in the middle section with main line exiting to the right of small hump at the end of the open section. The track finishes going past a house then joining onto the back road from Castleton to Hope.
