Off the Beaten Track #1 - Newlands


One of the joys of a Segway besides being able to get around is to get around to those places off the beaten track. One such track starts at the corner of Wakely Road and Lyndfield Lane in Newlands and ends at the bottom of Centenial Highway near Glover Street.
Although it is a short (1.4km) track, it is not without its perils. Most of the track is of very loose gravel and is very steep in many places. In hind site I should have had the x2 tires on instead of the less aggressive i2s. And did I mention it is a steep and long drop if you wander too close to the edge?! 8-)
Getting back to home base was via the sidewalk along the Ngauranga Gorge and then up and over the Newland flyover.
