So before the effort goes in to building a wet track or armoring existing tracks it might be worth checking out whether Vic park will be kept open once the real rain and snow comes anyway.
Worsleys seems like a good option, or find a different way to exit Lava Flow just after the fun rock sections finish that keeps riders off the 4wd track until passed the worse affected areas.
Wet track aside, a way to exit Vic park when the upper tracks are good but the bottom 4wd track is still too wet would be pretty nice. Probably would not be much of a shuttle option though since some uphill will be involved. |
Your a smart chap. You bring up very good points and you are spot on, only building anything on the lava flow side of the valley, especially a wet track is out due to "visual impact" i.e i fyou can see it from anywhere on the hill its a no-go.

Ok so Worseleys could be an option - cool, that sorta makes sense.
Are we still meeting tommorrow at 10:30 for a get together and look / discuss the options ?

So, it turns out the official word is that there will be no new wet line but there are some other cool tracks coming up to make summer a bit more exciting...
