Straight and Narrow

Karori Park, Wellington, New Zealand

This is a pair of short connecting tracks – one goes straight up to Telegraph Ridge while the other is a narrow descent to Wahine.

Intermediate

Bike and Foot

This is a track of two (unequal) halves.

The 'Straight' section connects several tracks between Wahine and Telegraph Ridge. From the top of 98 Downhill, this track heads straight up a steep hill, with a surface that consists of often wet smooth clay. The lowest part of this section is often muddy, which makes for much fun when descending from Telegraph Ridge.

The 'Narrow' section is a narrow, steep, and rocky chute that can be quite challenging when wet. Given the narrowness of the chute, there is little room for error and the rocks are unforgiving.

The 'Straight' section continues from the point where Wahine takes a sharp turn towards Karori, and heads straight up a steep hill to Telegraph Ridge.

The 'Narrow' section drops down a chute off Skyline to join 'Straight' a few metres from the Wahine intersection.
