At last, with the greenlight given, work got underway in creating a new route to replace the degraded and slightly difficult old track. The old way also has a dangerous crossing of large boulders in one part of it.
On reaching the marker tapes placed out previously, we fine tuned the route and work soon got underway. A surprisingly 210 metres of track was made by the five of us, which was quite an achievement. We find the work very satisfying and enjoyable.
There remains 300m below to reach the Devils Throne Track and 180m above to the Thark Ridge Track still to clear. Each end will be done last and signed posts placed to direct walkers along the new track.
It takes approximately 1 hour from Big Bend to walk the 2.5k to the start of the work site
