It has been exceptionally wet recently, and we hope it will settle down. The track is now being managed by DOC who will keep an eye on it and may gravel some sections if it proves necessary. The problem we face is do we build 1km of all weather track that is high spec or 10km of track that can be used 90% of the time? At the moment our view is to go for the latter - monitor it and improve sections if it proves necessary. Thanks for the feedback! John Hi Liz
