Historic Rameka Track

Martin Langley has led a few work parties up on the old Rameka Track this month and has it completely cleared all the way to the pines. Here is a photo of Martin, and Spanish cyclist, Ignasi, test riding it.



They are probably the first riders in a century to pedal down this historic section of track, which was once the main route from Nelson to Takaka.

From the pines the track seems to disappear, so Martin has suggested building a new track out to a great look out point.

We will mark these tracks out in late June, when Bronnie and Jonathan head down to Project Rameka for tree planting.
