Te Mata Peak three weeks after Cyclone Gabrielle 

Just three weeks after Cyclone Gabrielle ripped through the area, I was able to walk on the first re-opened track at Te Mata Peak, my backyard training ground and favourite place to walk. This is a video record of the damage I was able to see. Other places in the park are far worse, but obviously blocked off to foot traffic until safety is restored. Many thanks to all those who have worked so hard to clear the debris and re-instate the tracks.
