Bicentennial National Trail Book 6 GPX and KMZ Files

Here are fairly accurate plots of the trail shown in my BNT Book 6 maps as KMZ and GPX.

Note the following:

Nothing here is approved by the BNT organisation
Parts of these trails travel through private land, nothing here gives you permission to enter that land, you need to join the BNT and read Book 6
In many places the trail nominally follows a surveyed road casement BUT in fact is outside that for a small or substantial distance
You should get BNT membership, buy Book 6 from the BNT organisation and read the notes before travelling on any of this trail
The alignment of the BNT changes very often, this may be out of date
