PCT #22 Gravel Track North Motton, Tasmania, Australia
By sirius Tas on 11-Apr-18. Waypoint GA12125

Nice spot for a short rest after the climb up this section of the PCT - nabbed the cache whilst taking a layer off.

Today with the company of Trimbletas we completed the penguin to cradle track series and and a few others. We found 25 caches along the way with only 1 that we didn’t find. We majorly underestimated how long this walk would take from the start to hardstaff creek, there was a lot of challenges along the way. Once we finally made it to hardstaff creek we had to make a decision do we try to go out via the farm at purtons flats (we knew the farmer) or do we walk back. When we got back to where the pct track went off the gravel road we thought whether to go back along the river or to follow the gravel road out to dial road, decision was made to walk the gravel road back to dial road and have someone pick us up to take us back to the car at the start. The hill up from the pct track was brutal but once we got up it it was fairly easy walking till we had to climb up to dial road. Overall was a long but enjoyable day really had a great time completing this series.

Found in the company of DEZ055. We couldn't have picked a better day than the first day of winter to tackle the Penguin Cradle Trail. I have been wanting to walk this trail for a long time. I have walked parts of the trail previously. This is my first attempt in walking from the Penguin end through to Hardstaff Creek. Well the legs are well and truly cooked today, but mission accomplished after walking roughly 23kms. We have completed all of the caches so far in this series.
This was an easy find TFTC

Mr whitewebbs, Mr Tassie Trekkers a goose and an egg (sounds like the start of a joke, but no joke) headed off early to walk the PCT trail. The walk started at the southern end at #23 and after 6 hours and 14 kms later we arrived at Penguin Cradle Trail No. 1 and the pick up point. Luckily for us this cache was a driveby in the Trekkers geo4WD. It was a great trail with great company, fantastic weather and a great series of caches to find. Thanks sirius Tas for placing the caches along it. It was an area Mr W had not been in before and he really enjoyed the trail. TFTC

Today we targetted the PCT trail with whitewebbs and gooseandegg. After researching access points we made our way to the suggested parking point. Continuing past this point we managed to park within 5 metres of the cache.

Well gooseandegg hijacked a planed trip by whitewebbs and Tassie Trekkers to the Northwest Coast. They were generous enough to allow us to tag along and we had a wonderful couple of days. This was our first cache together. It took a while to get here until I sacked the original navigator and we weaved our way in on various tracks and ended up making this cache a 'drive by'. At this stage we were all feeling fresh and excited, not so 6 hours later at the other end. It was however an amazing walk and (most of it) thoroughly enjoyable with some wonderful scenery and a bit of interesting history. Thanks Sirius Tas.

After deciding against trying to reach this cache in the car we walked down the road until we reached the hide. After a walk that took us 1.5 hours we were pleased to finally reach the trail and were glad that we were able to make a quick find. The cache was in very good condition despite the area being very wet after the weekend rain. The log sheet was blank so we will claim a {FTF} at 14:55

Thanks for this cache in the PCT series Sirius Tas. We are looking forward to getting onto this section of the PCT.

Enjoy!
