Warnings and Disclaimer

Volunteers from the North West Walking Club Inc have made & maintained the Penguin – Cradle Trail and prepared this map and these notes so that appropriately experienced and equipped walkers can enjoy the scenery and experience of walking the Trail.

 

This map has not been prepared to accurate scale.  The Trail is not regularly inspected and maintained, can be rough underfoot and varies in standard.  Track conditions can change rapidly due to natural events like storms, floods, fallen trees, and erosion and track markers can fall down or be obscured.  It may be that a part of the track has to rerouted after this map is made.  Some parts of the Trail are steep or exposed to rapidly changing & potentially extreme weather conditions or can become slippery or otherwise dangerous.  These dangers increase if you and your party are not adequately equipped, experienced and fit for the walk you plan and for the risks inherent in walking in the areas through which the Trail passes.

 

Your safety (and that of your party) on the Trail is entirely your responsibility.  You use this map and notes and the Trail at your own risk.  The North West Walking Club disclaims all liability arising in any way (including from any negligence of the Club or any of its members) from the use by anyone of this map, the notes or the Trail.
