Dave’s Track Working Bee – 25 May 2025
Four of us turned up for this working bee, three from town, and we meet Robbie down there.
I got permission from Port Blakely to drive up the forestry road to the top end of the track, which saved us the half an hour walk in if we had gone through Trotters Gorge Reserve.
It was mainly the top end of the track that needed the work, with the pigs making a bit of a mess in there.
Most of the morning was spent cutting scrub and remarking, and in some places making a new track through the pig routings back to where you go around under the cliff face.
After lunch, we tackled the gorse further down which had just about blocked the track again, and we carried on down the track having a good trim and remarking.
At about 2pm we called it for the day – not quite getting all the way through, but the track was getting a bit clearer by then, so it may need a walk through in the spring.
Thanks to Robbie, David and Phyllis for your wonderful effort keeping this memorial track named after the late club member Dave Sinclair open for members to use.
