Description
Logs
Well finally we come to the last one in the series for us. We tackled all 56 with only 2 DNF's.
We did it in a very unorthodox way and I dare say it would have been easier to do it as Whitewebbs and Tassie Trekkers did it but we had no one to drop us off or pick us up so that was never going to happen.
We thoroughly enjoyed the time spent on these. It's a great trail to ride with a variety of things to see and read. We particularly liked the cuttings, especially the one with a lot of manferns.
There was some great information to read along the way too.
Thanks for a massive effort placing these caches here for us to enjoy. Hopefully it won't be too long till we get back and look again for the ones we couldn't find.

Today Mr T and Mr W (whitewebbs) tackled this trail and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Loading up the trailer with their pushbikes, Mrs T & Mrs W dropped them off at #56 and collected them 5 hours later in Scottsdale.
Many thanks icybeetas, for placing this cache, the information and research on each cache page was interesting. We appreciate the time and effort gone into creating this trail.

Mr T from Tassie Trekkers and Mr W decided to tackle this well set up series of caches on the NETRTrail. It was a great day to be out riding. The better halves dropped them off at 10.15 at No. 56 and collected them at No. 01 five hours later. The effort in setting this series up is appreciated as well as the information added to each cache page. The well detailed hints were appreciated. TFTC

Ventured out to the NERT today in the great company of icybeetas.
It's been over 5 months now since completing the section up Billycock Hill.
No problems with the weather today, being quite sunny.
Set off from the lowest pt in the trail on Tonganah Rd.
All caches were easily found and all in top condition.
A big thank you to icybeetas for a tremendous series of caches along an iconic railway....thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST.

As it was now dark we parked as close as we could to this one leaving ourselves a short, 60m walk to the hide. Again good coordinates and a useful hint took us to the right spot. Mrs Y'stassie had to scratch around a bit before she unearthed the container. It had settled into the litter and was well hidden. A surprise blank log and our 12th {FTF} on this series today at 17:27. It is now too dark for us to continue so we'll be heading home.
Thanks for this cache in your NETRT series Icybeetas. We have enjoyed the caches we found, there was a nice variety of containers, the hides kept us guessing, coordinates were good and hints were appropriate and always useful if needed. We look forward to returning to complete more of this series next time we are in the area.
