Re: Maratoto Track
Ok
As per what peter has said the track has deterated quite bad past the wires loop gate
Up to there you will be fine once you get past there you will get to the rivet hut (please turn around at the gate until we get a crew to do the repairs) because the track gets straight into grade 5 stuff you will loose both sides against the rock past the front doors and there will be at least 3 hard winches
as well
Teams recovery wont work here due to the hard rocky banks etc that need at be negociated
just give the low downs on what to expect
Regards
