More Than Expected

Mount Connection

 Tuesday 7 February 2017

It was known that almost 600 metres of track lay between the high point on the mount Connection track and where we finished work in January. What wasn’t known was how overgrown it was, and any hope of getting through it quickly was soon dispelled.

Without the hedge trimmers, it would not have been possible to compete the work, which has boosted our conviction that they are a great aid to track work.

PWS drove us along the East West Fire Trail to the start of the walking track which meant going past 500 metres of thick and at times tall bushes overgrowing the track.  This is down on our agenda for the near future.
