Makara Peak Work Party

I attended my first Makara Peak work party yesterday. It was working on the Upper Leaping Lizard track I mentioned back in this post. I thought I can't complain about a track and then not help out when they're working on it! If you're a member of the Makara Peak supporters they send out Newsletters with the dates and times of the various work parties. You can join here. They also post details on their Facebook page here. The track is alot more rideable now so if you're heading up that way, give it a blast :)

After the work party, I headed on up to the Peak and then out via Zacs Track and Varleys. Both tracks have recently been worked on and are in good condition. Varleys has some quite tight switchback that slow things down but it's a track lots of walkers use so you probably don't want to be bombing down it anyway. I went across the road and then down Wahine to Karori Park and home.
