Feb 20, 2022 @ 1:12am Feb 20, 2022 | mtb Date ridden: 19 Feb 2022, 172nd time. Set of switchbacks on Dun Mountain ultramafic slopes at: -41deg 20' 16", 173deg 21' 53" Returning to major erosion (accumulation of small to medium rocks and roots exposed due to erosion and very heavy use) after recent (12 months ago) rebuild of trail surface. Photo taken 08 April 2021 shows early surface deterioration from an earlier photo (to be loaded) on 15 May 2020. Repeated grooming by hand lasts about 2 weeks (I'm a very frequent rider). Personal concern for damage to a literally unique natural environment. Suggestion: consider at least yearly surface repair to this and other parts of the ultramafic section of the trail. Longterm solution might be a major re-route with priority for natural environment concerns. | Ideal | view | ||

Apr 7, 2019 @ 11:18pm Apr 7, 2019 | mtb Still very overgrown at the top but it’s only the first 500m really. There’s plenty of massive rain ruts but just adds to the spice of the trail, it is a grade 6 after all. Rode in over dun mountain and little twin. Some mega native tech off the top of little twin too. If you like back country style raw trails this is a good one | Variable | view | ||

Sep 18, 2018 @ 12:00pm Sep 18, 2018 | mtb 1. As at 18 June, the closure reported on Aug 18 was by-passed by a detour along the Brook Waimarama sanctuary fence line. This is straightforward, a similar distance, a bit more up and down, but a similar time overall to the original track. It is not as pleasant as it is less in the forest and the fenceline is unattractive, but the loop is still worthwhile. Nelson City Council has indicated that this detour will be in place until trail repairs are completed. 2. However, in addition, the track beyond Third House (to Windy Point and Coppermine Saddle) is scheduled for closure for pest hunting operations from 17 to 30 September (per the NCC website). In practice, the track was open on 18 September, but this could change. 3. On 18 September, the portion of track below Maitai Dam along the pipeline above the Maitai Valley road was closed. It was possible to join the Maitai Valley road as an alternative. Again this is slightly more up and down and not as pleasant as the Dun trail. The reason for this was not clear - it may be caught by the hunting operations. Otherwise, track was in good condition, but some of the gravel that has been laid on the descent is wearing away, making it more bumpy than it has been. | Dry | view | ||
