Tracking on Through

Tuesday 16 September 2008

Tuesday was set aside for track design with Ricky Ward, Jonathan and Bronnie. The main task was to continue an easy track from the historic Rameka Track down to Rameka Creek. There are plenty of steep slopes at Project Rameka, which we were keen to avoid, so a lot of time was spent walking back and forth with a clinometer, measuring the terrain and finding the easiest way down hill.

By the end of the day, we had marked out another 500 metres of gently sloping track that avoided native trees and rocky terrain.
