Waipunga Fling

This is call "fling" because its a nice little introduction to the Eskdale MTB park. Remember to buy a vistors permit ($10) from any bike shop in the bay or the four square in Bayview. You can also get a yearly membership if your prefer, but the permit gives you 3 weeks access. You can also get a map of the park if you need to help with navigation.

From the start at Waipunga Rd run straight up the shingle road and head for Blink, Barley and Twoman tracks. These are followed by Bypass and a short shingle road section to the bottom of Lower Magog. Continue up Lower Magog until Thistle which joins Bolt. Bolt will exit on to the shingle road, turn left and run the road until a track (Merv's) starts on your right. Follow this track until it exits by the tanks. Head up the road past the tanks to find DH link track. Run this track and find Blink and it will exit you back on to the road, run back to gate.
