makara park

The awesome swing bridge across the valley. Very impressive feature in the Makara MTB park. So proud of all the work that the Wellington riders put into cutting new trails, trail maintenance and putting in features like this. I am happy to say that I have helped out on half a dozen occasions...

View also from the summit and a cool sign post showing the direction of all the rides available and some other Wellington NI / SI attractions.

The summit reached via the trail followed that goes across the swing bridge. Nice area for rest and chat with fellow riders. This is where you then access so many of the awesome rides. North Face, Ridge Line Trail, Vertigo, Leaping Lizards etc.

Showing the ride and the two sides of the hill and the valley seen in the pictures.

Having come down from the summit via upper leaping lizards you can look back across the valley to where the swing bridge is that I took to get up to that summit. Also shows what a perfect day Wellington put on. There was also no wind which is not typical of Wellington.

Resting and taking some picture of the swing bridge across massive valley at Makara MTB park. The rides here are up there with the best in the world. We are so lucky to have so many good parks and trails here in Wellington
