Time for another quick update.
So far trail repairs have been going quite well, well enough for Tokaimtb to put in a request for a partial opening of the area. The latest feedback from SANParks seems to, on the surface, be quite positive so hopefully we shouldn't have too long to wait for an answer. SANParks have asked for a map of the proposed opening area which we will supply by the end of the week.
The current plan would be to open up all the Snake trails, The Switchbacks, DH2, 3, & 4, Vasbyt, My Roots, Your Roots and Fairy Garden while the remaining trails are worked on.
Also hoping to have Lizard sorted - it was repaired but after the heavy rain all the surface soil on the slope above slid down onto the trail. The water management did quite well in protecting the trail from the worst of it but we do need to go back in there and sort it out again.
We also have a bit of unexpected work to do on the roads after the rain last week, some parts are now fully fledged 4x4 trails (working on by-passes for the worst affected areas) and other parts are under thick soil after the unprotected areas above the roads decided it wanted to relocate. It's sort of okay when dry but becomes a bog when wet.
I will update here as things progress.
