I was surprised at how much the Cuvier Valley track has disintegrated into more of a rough route and less of a formed track. I remember it being fairly hard to follow across the plains and at times muddy from years ago but the Cynthia Bay end is pretty rough now. I've been on unmarked routes that are easier to follow...
As for the climb up Othrys, it was fairly scrubby, probably more so than I was expecting from the old revision of the Abels - will be interested to read the updated essay in the latest version.
A couple of pics...
