A few years back, the Mackesy Track used to be narrow, uneven and had a slippery clay surface.
Nowadays though, it has been vastly improved and is wide with a good covering of metal and stairs - in places there are lots of stairs, but only a few near here, especially if you come in the top entrance.
Surprisingly, it is still seldom used and seeing someone else on the trail whilst doing my exercise jaunts is the exception, rather than the rule.
So, here is another reason for you to experience this great upgraded track.
