GPS Log of the Arthur Ranges

Postby Dave Bremers » Mon 09 Feb, 2015 3:03 pm

Does anyone have one of these? We're looking to get through the harder to navigate bits with a few less navigation hassles.

Specifically the area east of Mt Scorpio, to somewhere near the West Portal.

Thanks,

:lol:

The route is on the 25K map, I can highly recommend taking this.

The hardest bits are on OSM. I put them there after my last trip.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road...Follow the Yellow Brick Road...there are no hard to navigate sections when you're on a "track", and as others have mentioned, it's marked on the maps.
If you feel uncomfortable by Kappa Morraine consider going down there as the "track" becomes a little more vague after from that point.
This trip is a little easier than New River to Federation... :wink:

I think this is a good walk to go on to practice for harder tassie walks. Some would suggest Mt Anne first, but this isn't hugely more difficult and a good choice.

GPX file? :shock: The only bit where you can possibly get a little off line is around Pass Creek.
