Three Capes Track Walk October 17-20, 2020 Organisers: Rob Gillam, Jane Tebbatt
Jane and I have just booked to do the Three Capes Lodge walk with the Tasmanian Walking Company (TWC) from Saturday 17th October 2020 to Tuesday 20th October 2020. TWC is the only guided walking company with its own lodges in the National Park so you stay within the park each night. This walk follows the Three Capes Track along the Tasman Peninsula with views to the Southern Ocean- by all accounts a stunning walk.
While October is still some way off, given Yarrawood’s new focus on member driven ideas for activities, we thought that we would provide some details in case any of you were interested in joining us. The walking group sizes are limited to 14 and as at 10 January there were still 11 places available on 17.10.20.
Important details:
· Cost $3195 per person
· Cost includes guides, transfers from Hobart and back, meals and wines
· Accommodation is twin share
· Overnight accommodation means a light pack, hot showers and access to a drying room!
TWC overview of the walk is:
Day 1: Grade Moderate. Distance 6km. Walking time 2 hrs
Day 2 Grade Moderate. Distance 11km. Walking time 5 hrs
Day 3: Grade Moderate. Distance 18km. Walking time 6 hrs – Note: optional walk day so if you don’t wish to walk you can explore the area around the lodge
Day 4: Grade Moderate. Distance 13km. Walking time 6 hrs.
For further details (walking notes, accommodation details etc) please see the Tasmanian Walking Company website www.taswalkingco.com.au or you can call them on 03 6392 2211.
Any club members wishing to join us on 17 October will need to arrange their own booking and payment, however I am happy to provide any additional information where I can.
For those who decide to book, can you send me (Rob Gillam) an email letting me know.
