Hi. 
 
We are going to built the SH1 underpass (the track to Somewhere)  a lot will be hand built  We are going to get it marked out ASAP if any body wants to give a hand on this please email us as it going to be a lot of work. It is one of those jobs that you can go and work on for a hour or two at any time by yourself but we just want to make sure people know what to do and were we are taking the track.


Working bee on Saturday 11th June 09:00 at Huka falls to get the pumice in on the Western bypass. 
Bring a wheel barrow and if you don't own one still come with a shovel and rake. This job will not take long to do The pumice is going to be dropped off right beside the track.
 
 
Rotary Ride improvements:
We have got some funding  to built a new downhill track in the first part of the RR this is to split the uphill and down hill traffic Since the first head by the gun club corner  I have been worried about this part of the track and we have seen a great gully to come down (will be all digger work )
 
Shep, Dave Brett and Pete .M have been chipping away at the Huka lodge corner and just a few more days will see that cleaned up Its working out OK but have some bloody big pine roots to cut out
 
DoC has also approved carrying on the single track north of the ladder bridge to cut out the steep hill with the matting, this will make the track that much better ( we can chip away at this in the future) see  Pete. M to help out on this it will be just done on a odd spare hour basis. We want to also make a uphill only track at the pumice cutting above ladder bridge on the southern side
 
We  are going to change the entry/exit on the Rotary track so he leads down to the Hot water bridge in a much nicer way out of Spa Park
 
Having a look at change at the gorse bush on the RR to run down the gully (all digger ) We will try and make the uphill a bit better as well It works OK at the moment but think it will be much more interesting going down the gully.

 

Cheers

Pete
