The line it runs

It runs about 145 km south-west of the central city, in Timaru, past the suburb outlines this site keeps: a regional track.

Runs from Dashing Rocks Walkway to a spot the record does not name, the named ground at each end of the drawn line.

The layer files it as a leg of the Hector's Coastal Track trail.

Mobility access: No, the layer does not mark the track as mobility-accessible

Dogs: allowed on leash

The lines it meets

Other open lines whose drawn course comes within 40 m of this one, the layer splits one trail into many features, so a line it touches is often the same walk’s next leg.

The green it crosses

Parks and reserves whose drawn outline the line enters, measured against the line itself, not a buffer around it.
