Getting Closer to the Devil
Devils Throne Track
Tuesday 8 January 2019
This is one of the harder assignments we undertake, simply because it is a 2 hour walk to get there. And the more we cut the further away it becomes.
It was a warm day but not uncomfortably so, and we managed to clear about 230 metres of track. Much of it was quite thickly overgrown, including sections where the track was almost obliterated, and you had to push through the vegetation.
Lunch break was kept to the minimum time needed, not because we were overzealous but due to the hordes of March flies.
A group from Pandani walking club came through and most said how pleased they were about the work being done to clear the track. They seemed very grateful.
We still have a few hundred metres to go before reaching Devils Throne.
