Great job by the Sunday crew on a cold blustery morning, gravelling and fixing drainage on the wet side of the Taramea. Thanks to everyone who turned up and the hardworking CCC Rangers as always.

Some of you may have noticed that The Bowenvale Traverse track has had a bit of a tickle up. This work was well overdue and was carried out by our Tuesday Crew along with 22 of the fantastic staff from Beca Christchurch.

With such a big team - 37 in all, we were able to clear and armour the box drains, widen, repair and rework almost the entire length of this track. The Beca crew were amazing and we achieved much more than we could have hoped for in a morning’s work.

This is a great example of what can be achieved by an enthusiastic and motivated group of volunteers and we would like to thank Beca for their support.

Corporate volunteer days are a great way for companies to connect with and give back to their communities. If you are interested in getting a group of workmates together for a dig day, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us at - [email protected]

Our Tuesday crew have worked through most of the Mt Vernon track. Cleaning up the edges, fixed box drains and fixed a few problem areas. We plan to reopen the original line at the big rock corner to make a more challenging line. We will clean this up a bit but leave it a challenging climb or descend

We had a great crew on Mt Vernon today. The track has developed deep ruts which prevents water running off and causes pedal strike. That, combined with the work to excavate the dam has made the track quite wet and muddy in sections. The crew did a great job today digging in some bricks on the low side of the box drains, clearing the box and toe drains and chipping off the edges and widening the trail. We made great progress and plan to complete this work next week.
If you like what we’re doing and would like to support our mahi we would love to see you. If you can’t spare time - maybe you could consider dropping some money in our bank account so we can purchase more tools and equipment at https://donate-dig.raiselysite.com/
Thanks to all who have already made contributions
