Doubt you'd need one- it pretty much follows tha lake & is very obvious... Please correct me if I'm wrong

Ok, thanks Lizzy, thats good to know.

I just ended up finding one on Shonky Maps (that i had loaded on the Garmin Basecamp app). Will see how it compares and then attach my track for anyone who might want it in future.

Cheers! :D

If you can get lost between Narcissus and Cynthia Bay, I will consider eating my hat.

A couple of years back I went that way and lost the track (between Narcissus and Echo) several times but did find it again after a short time. There were places where there seemed to be vague tracks in several directions. However, I was in a hurry and it was fairly dark, since I didn't finish until after sunset. Starting from Narcissus hut before 5pm would have been easier.

Track has had some work on it from Byron Gap turn off(that's where we joined the OLT) through to Echo, track workers were working on that area on Sunday. After Echo the track is still good, but has some trees across it, don't think the workers were going further south than Echo.
You would have to work hard to actually lose the track, a very big mountain on one side and a very deep lake on the other.

After the boards end, it can be little hard to see where the track is, you just need to look around and you can see it,
heaps of trees over the track which is annoying..

As of a week ago, the track had been chainsawed all the way through to Cynthia Bay. The only trees left down were of the stepover variety.
