  • Summary

  • An expert's warning the wide spread under-grading of how difficult or dangerous mountain bike tracks are remains a potentially deadly problem and a single nationwide standard needs to be introduced urgently. Simon Noble from Envisage New Zealand audited Marlborough's Wither Hills mountain trails and found nearly all had been under-graded in terms of their degree of difficulty.

Recreation consultant and trail auditor Simon Noble spoke to Lisa Owen.
