Location: Mt Victoria, Wellington, New Zealand
Overview:
Wide track that climbs from the colleges in Newtown up to the northwest corner of Alexandra Park.
Grade: Intermediate
Access: Bike and Foot
Description:
From the northwest corner of Alexandra Park, this track drops down a rocky path to the Number 3 playing field of Wellington College.
Not far from the top Hospital to Mt Vic heads up the bank towards the southwest. Further down, just before the track emerges out onto a sealed driveway, there is a set of wooded steps leading up to the Gifford Observatory.
To exit from the bottom of this track, follow the sealed road north, west, and then north again along a tree-lined one-way driveway that emerges onto Paterson Street between the Basin Reserve and the Mount Victoria Tunnel.
Getting there:
The top is at the northwestern corner of Alexandra Park.
The bottom is next to Ground Number 3 of Wellington College.
Other notes:
Near the bottom of the track, under the trees, there is a white bollard towards the southwest side of the track – watch out for the grey chain connected to the bollard and draped across the track, as it may be difficult to see.
