Track Building

  • New Tracks

    During the last months the track cutting team has been active in upgrading tracks along the valley floor. In many places this was quite a challenge due to the steep terrain, rocky areas and outcrops. With a great team effort we have made the tracks more user friendly and built quite a few retaining walls and stairs out of natural stones. In particular Ian Holden has built some of the most wonderful examples. As a result of this many of tracks in the valley floor are now much safer to walk along.
