Warners Bay - area map and track details

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

OK I created an area for that which appears in some menus. I put quite a bit of information about it and put a gps track in for the main fire trail, have a number of single tracks I can add to this pretty much straight away.

HOWEVER, the summary I entered doesn't appear on the page here:

And the track doesn't show either (sorry I have submitted a couple of times now).

Happy to flesh this out more and add some photos but not going to the trouble of doing any more if they aren't going to show up.

Advice please.

Sorry about that.

We are having some issues which make the site a little temperamental now and again. If you submit content and it doesn't show up then please just come back a bit later and try again.

Sadly your content was corrupted because of this issue and I had to remove your posts about Warners Bay. Please don't be put off by this - we are working hard to resolve these issues and hopefully all will be good in a few days. It would be great if you could re-post the info when everything is behaving.

Thanks for your understanding.

Are these the trails you refer to around the golf course. I couldn't reply to the original thread as this site just generates errors from work.

I got sick of it so never finished off the Hillsborough Rd side.

I used to include this area in one of my loops down to Warners Bay. Came in along the edge of the golf course on the Great North Walk, veered off left onto the single track after the power lines and then completed an anticlockwise loop climbing up the hill before heading off through Warners Bay.

TBH a lot of it seemed to be fall line trail suffering the effects of erosion and the moto trail mostly to steep/rutted for mtb. But if you find any gems let us know.

I have to admit, despite being only a few minutes ride from my house, I tend to avoid it for those reasons.

It is on the LMCC strategy as an Informal Mtb Area. I keep meaning to follow up if that means we can do some form of maintenance/work in there, but there are so many motos, I don't know that it would be worth it.

Could be fun on an AM bike in the southern area near Bay View street. I would be interested to see a proper map though, because I am sure I haven't ridden all of it.

Thanks Rob,

I will give it another go next week sometime.

Yes that is the general area I am referring to. There are some areas of it dominated by trail bikes and some of the tracks do have wash aways on them and no it isn't groomed in the way Glenrock is. However there is still some good riding there in places.

No worries. We're on a new server which looks to be behaving nicely so hopefully you'll be right.

If you have any probs though, please let us know... in case we missed something.

Thanks, have put it back in today and added a couple of trails. Will add a few more in the coming days/weeks. Will get some photos when next up there as well, forgot my phone this morning.

Keep them coming Ian, map is coming up good.

OK some more tracks and some photos uploaded. Sweet single track found today and mapped and some photos of it including the entry. It is well marked with paint on trees and even on the ground in places. There has been recent work done on this and even some smallish berms on some of the corners. Well worth a look at at 2.5km it is a lot of fun.

Not appearing on the overall map at the moment. Not sure if it is clashing with another one that is more random that seems to incorporate some of the same lines.

Anyone here involved in the marking and maintaining of the single track linked in this post?

Any idea who owns the land and is track work legal/illegal?
