Location: Mt Victoria, Wellington, New Zealand
Overview:
Narrow track that runs along the fenceline of the Gifford Observatory.
Grade: Intermediate
Access: Bike and Foot
Description:
From a saddle point intersection with Hospital to Mt Vic, this track drops down a hill alongside a graffiti-covered corregated fence. The top half of the track is wide and smooth, while the bottom half is narrow and somewhat more tricky.
Near the bottom of the track, there is a gate through the fence, leading to the Gifford Observatory. From there, the rest of the way down to Newtown to Mt Vic involves a substantial set of wooden steps.
Getting there:
The top is at a saddle point on Hospital to Mt Vic.
The bottom is near the bottom of Newtown to Mt Vic.
Other notes:
Note that from the top of the steps there appears to be a track that continues down the hill along the fenceline, but it doesn't actually seem to go anywhere.
Length: 0.27km
Conditions: Single track
