Great turn out today, thanks to everyone who made it along. We got a stunning amount of track cleared and cut including a couple of switch-backs we added per Slacky's suggestion. I didn't measure it myself but will get some distance facts and figures up before too long. We certainly did several hundred meters of track at least.
Thanks to Steven, Grant & his nephew Jacob, Mike H, Ed & Al Crossling, Kevin, Guy & Hew, John, Steve, Wim & Antony, Ben + Brynn & Owen & Sasha, Slacky, Ahinui, Huxter and Mike the Hippy who joined for the late shift and is still out there finishing some benching as I type this. Sorry if I missed someone!Special mention of the top effort from Steven Peter's, WCC head-ranger, who used his hand-saw tirelessly.Thanks too to Liz for baking the scones and to Pauline, Bronya, Alex and every other partner who got food / beer or held down the fort at home. We'll do it again soon, possibly in another month, and perhaps a smaller affair mid-week in Feb to clear the entry at the top (onto Nevay) to make it easier for the WCC Tree Team to get in there and deal with the fallen pines.

As you can see, it's not all digging and sweating.
