Updated MTB trail map for Mangamahoe


An updated map of the tracks has now been posted.

This has removed the area affected by logging and the bridal path that is currently being used by horse riders.

There have been some complaints to the NPDC re bike riders on the bridal trails, so best avoid.

The map can also be downloaded by clicking on the following link:

Best printed on a colour printer at this stage.
