Description
This track provides a nice alternative to the steep Hataitai to City track. Instead of heading straight up the hill, this track wanders up through the bush at a gentle gradient.
About 0.1km up from the bottom the track crosses the Hinau Street spur of the Hataitai to City track. Just after a switchback the track divides into two paths – the original track continues south to soon rejoin the Hataitai to City track, while a newer section turns north to continue gently climbing up to Alexandra Road.
Getting there
The top is at the Alexandra Road saddle point, a few metres northeast from the top of Hataitai to City.
The bottom is on the velodrome exit road, where the main Hataitai to City track heads straight up the hill. Instead of going up Hataitai to City, head 20m north and then alongside the Hataitai electrical sub-station's fence.
Other notes
Southern half built in May 2009 by Simon Kennett and others; northern half added in September 2010.
