Wednesday Night Moonlit Fat Solo Up On The Top

Headed, for a change, down from mine, into the Longhurst Reserve aka the zig zag, down the dirt, then Derrynane out, and up to Scarff Pl.  Into the Latters Spur track up below the houses, then over the stile and up the fenceline, roots'n'all, but no more trees ☹️ - barren.  The odd bit of walking then through the gate into the dog park.  Couple more bits of walking up the rockiest bits, then up towards the info-centre, around the wheelchair track, over and through to climb around the 19th, usual skidder, grunty mcgruntface, brake free to Worm to head around the Traverse, all the way to Huntsbury/Vernon. 

Briefly onto the road on the saddle, taking in the moon reflecting gloriously on the harbour, and straight over the stile into Scott's knob track, climbing, descending, on both forested tops, some fun in these bits, then across the pond saddle onto the non-forested section to the sugarloaf carpark.  Over the chain and stile and back onto Traverse to follow another rider, slowly catching him around to Vic.  Bypassed the jumps and seesaw, down rabbit, into the rock garden, cruising round into the gums.  Fun usual way down through here, then out to skidder and back over 19th.  Rangerstation, dropped down to the walking track below the road, climbing out to Tawhairanui walk track to the dogparkcarpark.  Straight into the fun twisty singletrack here, not crashing, popping both jumps and through the oaks to the climb, up to the lower dogparkcarpark to finish with a blast down behind the houses, home. 

A valid 10.6 kms with not a bad wee 364 m ascended
