West East Connector

Tinakori Hill, Wellington, New Zealand

Short connection from Tinakori Ridgeline the to Northern Walkway.

Intermediate

Bike and Foot

From the top, this track has a rolling profile as it drops off the ridgeline. The last section is particularly steep, with a gradient of more than 20%.

The track itself is fairly wide - just qualifying as doubletrack. Most of the track is under mature pine trees, so some of the dips can be a little boggy when wet.

In association with Huntingdon, Tinakori Ridgeline, Northern Walkway, and Grant Road, this track could form part of a commuting route to/from the city and the suburbs surrounding Tinakori Hill.

Deviates off Tinakori Ridgeline about 0.6km from the northern end.

Meets the Northern Walkway at an intersection that is sign-posted but otherwise not particularly obvious. Northern Walkway heads into the bush, while the nature flow of the track is straight down/up the hill.

At some point mechanisms will be installed on this track to slow down bikes, given that much of the track is quite steep.
