Hi,

 

Has anyone ever gone up with the cable car at Harties and found a trail down to the cable car house again? :blush:

 

On googleearth it SEEMS possible - any body tried this? ;)

Yes. It can be done. There are probably a few different routes down. I have done it up and down.

Cable car at Harties no longer works! :thumbdown:

 

So you need to ride up and down!

That's what I thought. Was it ever repaired after it broke causing fatalities?

They busy revamping the cable car looks like it's going to look very cool. Went past there yesterday.

As far as I know the cable car will be up and running very soon. Been replaced with new stuff and new management!! There is a jeep track going up the mountain at the back. Other side than cable cars!

As far as I have heard, they are putting bike racks on the cable car. There is talk of a DH course and other freeride stuff.

 

If it all happens, we (GP) may end up ahead of everywhere else in SA.

Maybe with a "lift" in place everyone will start to concentrate their trail building efforts, and then our own little whistler could just be.

 

It would be nice to get some official news on it though. At the moment it is all just rumours.
