Also known as: Scout Den
Location: Wrights Hill, Wellington, New Zealand
Overview:
Twisty alternative to an especially gnarly section of Fenceline, from the summit of Wrights Hill to the Williams Hall scout den in Campbell Street.
Grade: Intermediate
Access: Bike and Foot
Description:
This is a neat piece of singletrack through a pleasant bush setting. While it isn't technical, some of the switchbacks can be a little tricky - especially when climbing in the wet.
Combine this track with S Bend and Fenceline to form a complete circuit of the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.
In a couple of places there are detours, where the track briefly splits into alternative paths - one slightly easier than the other. These detours are only a few metres long.
Getting there:
From the Wrights Hill viewing platform, follow the sealed path that drops down below the platform and then into the bush. Alternatively, follow Fenceline to just below the summit of Wrights Hill. At the point where Fenceline dives down an extremely steep section, this track branches off into the bush.
The bottom of the track is at the southeastern corner of the scout hall.
Other notes:
This is a popular walking track, so modest descent speeds would be prudent.
Length: 1.06km
Conditions: Single track
