Evidence limits
This is a contemporaneous organizer/participant report, not an independent inspection or formal work log. It supports a probable trail-clearing event but does not establish the exact length, condition, or continuing accessibility of the trail.
Open questions
- Has Danes Trail been maintained or re-cleared since July 2018, and does it remain walkable?
- Where does Danes Trail run on Garden Island — is there a mapped OSM way or GPS track corresponding to it?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
