The latest trail to be completed in the Wairakei Forest is now open, thanks to the efforts of Peter Lockwood.

This trail is within the Young Pines block and provides a good flowing single track with a few surprises. The track start is signposted from off the Young Pines track.

Peter has worked on this project for the last few months, often relying on his head lamp to work well after dark.

Following a good turn out at a recent working bee, the Buzzard has had a bit of a make over, particularly some of the corners that were being rutted out. Some new berms and slight re alignments have been constructed which have improved this track.

There are plans afoot to continue improving the tracks over the winter months.

If you want to be involved with working bees and / or improving tracks within the Wairakei Forest sign up to the Track Crew on the web site.
