In http://bushwalkingnsw.com/walk.php?nid=804
There is "Sketch map 1 PDF"
The sketch map shows a "track" hugging the cliffs on the east side of Mt Warrigal.
Question: Is it possible to walk by hugging the cliff line along the entire length of the west side of Mt Warrigal ?

Answer to the above question is: Yes! One can circumnavigate Mt Warrigal, actually quite easy.
Photos and trip report are in my blog: http://mntviews.blogspot.com.au/2016/02 ... ralia.html

Also look into OpenStreetMap. Helpful when used with a GPS device.

The track on the OSM map that goes around the west side of Mt Warrigal is the Kennel Flats track, a few hundred metres (horizontal and vertical) from the base of the Warrigal cliff.

Actually the "sketch map 1" referred to in the original post is also the Kennel Flats track.

Paul8 I have just read the report of your Wild Dog trip. What an excellent resource you have compiled there. I was fascinated by the old cache you found. And also the memorial to Mr Gliddon. I knew an Anne Gliddon once. She was also from the Ramblers. I wonder if she was his sister?

Thanks paul8 ! This answers a whole bunch of questions I had. This idea of this trip has been on my mind for a while. I now have a new page book marked on my list of favourites

Hi K,

There is an Aine Gliddon who currently works for NPWS in the mountains and was a member of the YMCA Ramblers. I believe her husband, Colin Gliddon, was one of the people who put the log book in, so I would think that Kenneth P. Gliddon may well have been his brother.
