Location: Mt Victoria, Wellington, New Zealand
Overview:
An intermediate loop around the northern half of Mt Victoria.
Grade: Intermediate
Access: Bike and Foot
Description:
This is a loop that encompasses a representative selection of intermediate tracks on the northern half of Mt Victoria. The companion Mt Vic Easy loop, which also starts and ends at the saddle point on Alexandra Road, encompasses a selection of easy grade tracks on the southern half of Mt Victoria.
The loop is well sign-posted, with small markers that show a bike and the word "Intermediate".
From the map board on the western side of the Alexandra Road saddle point, head north for almost 0.4km alongside Alexandra Road on the sections of Southern Mt Victoria and Te Ranga A Hiwi that coincide.
Immediately after crossing a sealed driveway, deviate away from Alexandra Road down The Dipper and Mt Vic Summit until you meet the Lookout Walkway. Turn sharply left (southwest) and drop down the Lookout Walkway past Charles Plimmer Park.
Finally, from the southern end of Charles Plimmer Park, follow the Hataitai to City walkway for 0.8km, ignoring the various side tracks and proceeding straight through several intersections. After a reasonable climb up, you'll arrive back at the Alexandra Road saddle point to complete the loop.
Getting there:
Starts and ends at the Alexandra Road saddle point.
Length: 1.94km
Conditions: Single track
