Location: Mt Victoria, Wellington, New Zealand
Overview:
Technically interesting connection through the trees just above the Wellington Badminton Association hall.
Grade: Advanced
Access: Bike and Foot
Description:
From the southeastern end this track drops off Mt Vic Easy down through the trees into a little valley. Part way down, the track crosses a small (usually dry) creek via an artificial rock garden consisting mainly of broken chunks of concrete. A little further along there is a concrete step down, followed by a deeply rutted corner.
The track then climbs slightly, around a hairpin bend and a neat keyhole corner, before rejoining Mt Vic Easy.
Along the way there are plenty of exposed tree roots and short, sharp slopes that look like they would be especially slippery when wet.
Getting there:
Southwestern end is on Mt Vic Easy, less than 0.1km north of the clearing that contains the Mt Vic Skills Area. This intersection with Mt Vic Easy is marked by a pink inverted V painted on a small tree.
Northeastern end rejoins Mt Vic Easy just as the easy course enters the trees just above the badminton hall.
Length: 0.22km
Conditions: Single track
