Fosters Ridge Track

Classic NZ back country beech forest trail. Mostly used as a hiking trail but a great option if your after a more challenging mountain bike route. Fork off Wharfedale track to begin ascent to Black Hill Hut. Return same direction or take the Black Hill Track down to Townsend river and back onto Wharfedale track for the loop. Trail requires a moderate to good level of fitness to climb/hike a bike. The descent is sustained steep, rooty and rocky.
