Track working bee happened on July 1st


Seven brave souls made to the working bee on Sunday. So many thanks to these workers, they did clearing type work on the existing network of tracks to the east of the main ridge track. Agreement with the NPDC hadn't been set up for the proposed new tracks, this will hopefully be achieved in the next few weeks.

The image shows the proposed new tracks in the southern area that extend the recently developed tracks. The proposed tracks are shown in purple.

When is the next working bee going to happen? Keep a look out and it will be as soon as we get agreement with the NPDC.....

SO WHEN: See above!
