The Bandages or Glory Trail runs for approximately 1.5 km.
As the Parks Victoria map states the track is very technical for the whole distance and is the most technical for the whole You Yangs mountain bike area. This trail is aimed at downhill riders and has plenty of high speed berms (ultimately leading you into other technical bits), steep and very technical rock gardens, large drop offs, jumps, etc, etc. If you're not very experienced, don't do it - you won't enjoy it and probably won't come out alive.
Follow prominent route 12 markers. Typical pictures below.
