Hi,

I was up there 2 weeks ago, but only on the eastern 2km or so. It is passable on a road bike, but not comfortable! However, about 3km from the eastern end there had been a significant landslip that had deposited itself on the track, between 100m and 200m in length. I wasn't planning on going any further in any case, but it looked extremely boggy and that it was likely that you would need to take to the very steep hillside above the slip to pass. It could have dried out by now, or even have been cleared, but as it was it would have needed a bit of portage I think.

Have fun
