Devines Hill may sound like a pleasant way to start a trip, but for the Men on the trip, it could mean heartbreak. Can they, and their equipment, make the grade?
In order to determine if they will make the grade, it is first necessary to determine what the grade is. Fortunately, we have a fleet of civil engineers ready for the calculating activities. Does it comply with the necessary council regulations for access? Is it graded sufficiently for wheelchair access unassisted? Did the chain-ganged convicts building the road allow sufficiently for the water erosion caused by the velocity of run-off down this slope?
At its steepest, the Devines Hill track climbs 80m over 1km.
