Sounds like some Hugh Jass fire is going on. I read something about 400ha burning?! :0

wow, glad i got my rides in a few weeks ago, would have been gutted if we couldn't ride our 1 weekend in Dunno's

*note* switchback track from Leith to Swampy summit is one of the finest pieces of singletrack ever constructed, and definitely the easiest hill climb for most elevation gained. Hamish Seaton is a true champion and deserves a beer!
