    I've walked edith/ glaisnock to oilskin pass and its a reasonable track but you'll spend a day or more just getting to your Wild Natives boundary. I assume you can fly into the head of Blight Sound, which would be better than a long walk I'd say.

    Thanks for your thoughts CB. Have been in edith a couple times - agree its a fair chunk of time, would be a massive day to make edith saddle in one go. But then thinking I would then have a whole week to hunt along the natives/george boundary ridge to overhead cone before dropping down for a bligh sound pickup.

    I walked it over 2 days. Not sure how many hours but say an afternoon and most of the next day. I was fit.
