S3=Skink Site Survey

Giant Skinks require careful consideration. You can't just dump them anywhere. So Murray and Jonathan headed up the peak early this morning and scouted out the perfect location in amongst a forest of gorse and barberry! All the action attracted a giant spider, but that was all. Now the planning is done, we are ready to charge full steam ahead at the work party this Sunday (15th Oct, 10am). Lunch is provided, but you could bring a hammer. We will also be working on the section of track before and after The Skink. Oh, and there will be a few cool prizes drawn on the day.

Diggers in the mist

This is the lastest section of T3 to be built. Murray and Jonathan went up for a bash on Saturday morning. It was easy digging, and there is plenty of good rock around to use for just about anything you can imagine on the track. That's the great thing about this track, there is lots of opportunity to be creative and try things out, cos' almost anything goes.

The next work party on T3 is on Sunday the 15th October. The mission is to build the Skinks Back (see below) and if enough people turn up you could end up hammering away at the super tight switchback as well. Check out www.makarapeak.org.nz for details closer to the time. It should be a cracker. Hope to see you there.
