Chartwell

Western Hills, Wellington, New Zealand

Connection from Chartwell to Skyline.

Easy

Bike and Foot

There's nothing technical on this track, though a bit of climbing is required to reach the ridgeline that Skyline follows.

At the Chartwell Drive end of the track there is a double gate - that is, a steel barrier and a farm gate about a metre apart. There are three other gates along the way.

From the Chartwell Drive end the track is a gravel road that progressively turns into a grassy double track up the hill to Skyline.

Top end is 1.0km north of the top of Skyline Cemetery Link, at a clearly sign-posted exit from Skyline.

Bottom is near the top of Chartwell Drive, just at the point where it narrows to 1.5 lanes. Emedee starts 0.35km further up Chartwell Drive, where the road ends outside the substation.

Around the buildings there is somewhat of a menagerie, with several horses, ducks, some feral cats, and a lot of chickens.
