A long slog up the spur to the Tin Range. The 'track' markers were frequent on the lower part of this climb, but become less frequent the higher we went.
It is common to lose the 'track' and have to bush bash onwards.
There are many machete cuts on the old 'track' that help with guidance.
The climb from the 300 to 400 m altitude was particularly tough as we could not find any sign of an old 'track'. It would be difficult to find the track if coming from the top.
Anyone travelling this route should consider taking plenty of tape/twine and update the markers. We did a little of this (but wished we had taken more tape!)
