The club received an appreciative email from Peter Harvey of Lowry Bay, thanking us for the work on the Mt Frith track:
‘Some friends and I, on Sunday, walked from the Rimutaka hill summit all the way to the Bucks Road car park on the track I know you people have done so much work on—a solid six hours or so. A fabulous day and we were very grateful for the markers and poles. This is a very underrated, and I think unknown, treasure.
We had great views both east and west and the wind stayed away for much of the time. I did note that sections after Finis heading north are getting quite overgrown with gorse and will be difficult to get through in another year or so. I was intrigued to know if it was possible to head north straight down the spur off Frith as it looked quite gentle and bush clad from over on the Finis ridge. In any event, many thanks for making this tramp possible!’
