There are small pieces remaining of these trails that are somewhat rideable, but you will end up at dead ends or crawling through bushes.

      Rang Auckland Council. They stated the plans to clear these trails wouldn’t start until 2021. A working bee voluntary help to clear the tracks would not be viable as apparently they have a contract that would be violated if this happened. Not sure what they are paying the contractors for...

      Lame.
      Seems to be designed without reference to contours and the main objective seems to be to fill every last space with trail. Im afraid the flow of this trail (and those in the whole reserve in fact) is truly awful, which is a shame as the location is great.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
