Congratulations to Swampy and March Brown on getting this Trig.
Today, as it has been on my to-do list for a long time, I set of on foot from the corner of Slab Rd and Cradoc Hill Rd at 1010hrs.
As the crow flies, that's about 4.25-4.5kms. I think you will find it longer on foot; it felt like it anyway!! The walk is on a public road that goes all the way to Margate I think. Don't try and drive it in a normal sedan, I don't think you'll make it.
A gradual climb to the top had me stop twice; one for a break and two to take photos.
The last 300 metres or so is reminisent of the walk to "No Red Herrings Back Here" albeit not quite as steep.
Arrived at ground zero finding the trig at 1126hrs. Total time in:
1 hour and sixteen minutes.
However, the pain was worth the gain. Magic views from the top. Stayed and digested it all for about 25 minutes, leaving the top at 1150hrs and arriving back at the car at 1255hrs; walk out took 1 hour and five minutes; only stopping to take more pics.
Thanks for the cache and a great experience
Cheers OldSaint.
