Key:
- Concept stage
- Basic track profile cut, not necessarily in riding condition
- Benching and berms done, few technical bits to iron out, can ride it now or close enough to it.
- Track Completed
Zig & Zag - this track starts from the top of Tear Drop and C1, it starts out as a traverse and climb along the ridge and then you zig and zag your way to the saddle and Chicken Run and ScollyWood.
ScollyWood - another traverse track, finishing in an established Mahoe Wood-lot. Connects Chicken Run to the 4WD track.
4WD Track - this old formed yet incredibly steep 'road' connects the tracks up high to those down by the river.
Eagle's Nest - runs off the top of the 4WD track, a nice little there and back track built by the digger with great corners ups and downs and superb vistas of the Southern Alps and Lake Ellesmere. Eventually this will connect to the other side of the property, we aren't sure whether it will be hand built or digger built.
Miner's Track - another old 'road' from when it was thought that there was gold in them thar' hills...
The largely downhill track has an incredible view and interesting topography, from a large rocky bench and a cliff face, to the bowl of the valley in amongst regenerating bush. In theory the mine is still there and we have discovered a sign with an arrow, to be updated... This will be a crossroads for the future climbing track, downhill track and Eagles Nest. This is a digger built track.
River Track - this runs alongside the stream at the bottom of the land, full of twists and turns it is a great track for the beginner, intermediate or experienced rider. This was our first digger built track and it's a blast. The Track finishes in the Skills Area.
Ssh Track - developed by Si and Shailer this hand-built track traverses dips and climbs beside the creek under the oldest stand of Kanuka on the property. A good connector between the 4WD Track and the River Track for those who don't like to get their feet wet.
Frank'N'Furter - this ambitious project is to build an exciting fun and intermediate track from the end of the River Track in the Skills Area along the entire length of Haven following the creek and using as much of the land as possible as it's abut the Journey not getting there. To date we have built 703m of track and to say it's going well is an understatement. It has to be seen to believed. This is a digger built track, and it's pretty much ride-able now..
Anti Disestablishment - it breaks the rules, bucks the trends and is a nod to the current situation.
Starting in a paddock amongst baby pines, it wiggles and waggles and then climbs up to a three track terrace in an incredibly short space right by the creek, affording super views. You then cross the creek and then climb and zig & zag in an established pine block, a bit of puff and excitement in amongst it all. You are rewarded with some more traversing wiggles and then the quick downhill and chicane back onto the "road" to the Skills Area. This is a digger built track..
Unnamed Climbing Track - This climbing friendly and fun track will take you from the bottom of the land to the top and you won't mind. It will be so much fun, that you will love coming down it. 508m of track has been built to date, more wiggles and waggles and big corners in regenerating bush. This is a digger built track..
Unnamed Descending Track (think Anaconda) - Tantalisingly close to the climbing track this will be a bundle of fun and grins and yelps will abound when you scream down this track. Coming soon...
Trickle Falls - an audacious track that will flow down a tight valley where ScollyWood meets Zig & Zag and Chicken Run down and down to the waterfall on Frank'N'Furter.
Skills Area - It's a secret at the moment, but it will be unique and very exciting. Stay tuned....
