Devils Throne March 2023

 Tuesday 21 March 2023

Again, another walk, from a suggestion, this time from Greg B.  It also coincided with the yearly interval to read the track counter on the way there, and furthermore was timely as the Wellington Park management have asked for usage figures.

The walk used the formed track to Devils Throne and the same way back.  Surprisingly it took slightly longer to get back, must be the hill climb and not being as fresh, by almost 10 minutes.

The day was fine and still with pleasant mountain temperatures.   Some cloud did appear at lunchtime that cooled things enough to add a layer of clothing.

All up it took an elapsed time of a bit over 5 hours for the 10k walk.  Inward 2:00 and return 2:07.

The track usage for the twelve months is close to 490 with total passes coming in at 972. An assumption being made that 80% of people use the same track both ways a nd the remainder return another way.   There is a table at this webpage.
