Yes the Church Steps are on the list.

As Yakatar said its a very short lane with a very short but interesting side slope that takes you to the point where you feel like your gonna tip over, a rocky down section to a very nice ford and an interesting climb over a rock ledge to get back onto the road. About 5 minutes from the northern end of the gap road.

It was incredibly scratchy when Trugga, Postfinder and I did it earlier in the year.

Those of a nervous disposition or in fear of their paintwork may want to give it a miss :D :D :D
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Those where posted two years ago, and VW syncros are 4wd and have difflocks 8)

There has been a good bit of erosion over the last few years as laning gained popularity and more lanes where closed with the NERC and the like, this concentrated all the laners on very few open lanes hence the need to "Tread Lightly" to preserve what we have remaining.
