hi,
no I don't, BUT I do have a detailed KLM file which opens up in Google Earth, that is a detailed GNW100s annual trail race GNW route from Teralba (Newcastle) south to Patonga (Central Coast). Will that do ?

also, here is a www link that I have had bookmarked.....

Just in case this is of help... Not a GPX file but OSM has all that recorded on its mapping service. The maps can also be loaded on Garmin mapping unit for field use.

hi thanks guys, yep actually I have looked it up and MapOut is compatible with both OSM and KLM files. Open street map files for the GNW are very short tho, covering only a couple of kilometres per file…what's with that?

thanks Rob.

do you know if water is hard to get at all to get on the track? (I will treat it of course).

Just a note to anyone who may read this forum - leeches are really bad on this track when it's rainy. I will reattempt this hike when it's fine out.

Here is a gpx file of the complete walk. It was taken from OSM. It is the track data but I removed the way points as it tripled the file size plus it caused the GPS app on my phone to take forever to load.
