Advice by email today from Matamata Council.....
"We should have a digger and dozer up Thompson’s Track either late this week or early next week.
They will work their way up fixing the track as they go, so should be clear by the weekend of the 11thFeb."
Remember that logging is planned and access may be restricted over the next few months.

Re: thompsons track
went up thompsons (te aroha side) last night, slips have been all cleared as mentioned on another thread, but since a digger or bulldozer went to the top its rather smooth, currently a 2wd trip apart from the playgrounds and the lookout at the very top
Re: thompsons track
went over last weekend 24th 25th and was passable. we went from east side (waihi side) to west side (matamata side) with out too much stress. as on has said since the digger as being up there its more of a 2 wheel sunday drive.

Has the digger been right down the Katikati (wahi) side ?
