Debrief
Overall
The challenge was a great experience and a good excuse to get out and hit up some of the trails. Tracks weren't in thee best condition and a couple spots might be a little hairy for complete beginners.

Hi Dan, please note that you can't do "Better Than Road" going back towards the carpark (it's one way). Suggest you can number 7 trail to "Hokey Pokey". Wish I could do this challenge - but I'm overseas at the moment. All the best guys - and love this new addition to WW. Thanks, Isikeli
