Starting from Tablelands Road, Wentworth Falls, the road to Ingar is clearly signposted to the left. Follow the short stretch of tar and take the left fork when the tar ends. To the right at the fork is a good aboriginal site with grinding grooves and good views, but the track's been blocked and marked "Private Property". Walkers have cut a very narrow trail to the right at the National Park entry sign so you can still get to the site, which is wholly within the park. Other than that, just follow the main track. There are a few old tracks disappearing into the bush that could be interesting, but the most promising is marked as a walking trail only. ;^( On the topo maps, this track looks like it turns into singletrack and comes out at the waterhole.

Ingar itself is 10 kms from Tablelands Road, along a track that can be quite corrugated, as cars are allowed to drive all the way to the waterhole. At present (July 01) the corrugations are fine on a hardtail, but would probably be uncomfortable on a rigid.

About 9 kms from Tablelands Rd the track forks - left to the Ingar waterhole (about 1 km), and straight on for Woodford, over a few large jumps ...err ...waterbars. There's a gate that should be locked, but often isn't, just after the turnoff, on the way to Woodford. This track gets steeper and steeper until the final mad rush down to Bedford Creek, which is blocked by another locked gate. At present this section is quite smooth, with lots of waterbars that I didn't have the guts to jump - just too steep. I found I was as hard on the brakes as I could be without locking, yet still hurtled down at an adrenaline inducing pace. At night, this downhill is ^i-n-_s-a-n- ^e!! Took me at least ten minutes to come down from the buzz...

Although you can drive a car down if the gate is unlocked, don't... It's almost impossible to drive a 2WD vehicle back up without damage to the track and vehicle. Late one night we watched someone in a state of panic eventually get the Commodore back up, but their clutch would have been shot (we could smell it on the other side of the valley...), their tyres ruined, the underbody all dinged, judging by the clunks we heard, and to top it off, the person they hoped to be groping in bush privacy would have been very angry... Not to mention the damage they did to the track, sliding and spinning huge ruts.

If you've ever ridden Anderson's, the rest of the ride will be quite familiar - the only way out is up... - turn left and cross Bedford Creek for the walk up the hill, or ride if you are fit enough and have low enough gears - not me! If you go straight ahead instead, you'll soon be climbing the big downhill on Anderson's fire trail, heading back to Wentworth Falls. At the top of the big hill, head left back to Woodford, or right down into Murphy's Glen - but be warned - you come out the same way you went in - only this time it's the big hill goes up. Follow the firetrail to Woodford until you hit the tar, and follow that road through to the station.

Most of the track is downhill and quite quick - speeds of 50 + are easy and 60 would be possible. Ingar itself is a pleasant waterhole/picnic/camping area with some nice walks and long drop toilets. The name Ingar is aboriginal for yabbie (a crustacean similar to a lobster), and there's sure to be a few in the dam. If you do it at night, a full moon is best - the huge trees down by the creek are beautiful when lit by the moon. At night, we took 1 hr 30 mins riding time from Wentworth Falls station to Woodford station - my daytime sighting run was a very similar time. These times include walking the big hill from Bedford Creek, but not the ride down to the waterhole and back.
