Bushwalk with my new Garmin

Went for a bushwalk and decided to explore and record some trails I had found on previous rides but never explored. May be of use in the future if everything goes well. (Would like to note that I believe these trails I walked minus OBR where walker made) The track from Survayor Abbot Dr to Mitchels Pass is an erotion nightmare. Like wise was the track from Mitchels Pass up to Maraket Ave is ill desired, One spot I had to climb a rock wall on the track. The walking trail around the back of the properties was in fantastic condition, some spots less ideal requiring a hike a bike. Couple of spots the track ended and had to back track although I found alot of potential. Some parts was old firetrail. Anyways I thought I would share the walk I done today.

Can a mod fix my link, I cant get it to embed

I reckon you stumbled upon some old track that still gets used by us today to get down to mitchells pass to then get access to knapsack, i will have to discuss this with you to see if it is!
Are you liking the Garmin?

I've always looked at the bits further down bowaga and wondered why there wasn't more in there.

I reckon leave the major mitchels(sp) bit and head down bowaga and then link back be awesome AM and a good few hours linking to knapsack

If you were to have a single track in this area which direction would you travel? I would imagine for the best results it would need to be one way. Unless you had seperate tracks, one for going up and another for decending. Going up needs to be easier for the climb. Going down can make use of drops and stuff.
