Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

A pleasant stroll along the coast, with some mild diversions. LATEST UPDATE: This is no longer "On the street where i live". I have moved to London, so no cup of tea for you
This cache is much more compact than "On the street where i live", so no need to drive between the clues this time.

1 - At co-ords above, you will find a putt putt course.
On the blue course, how many holes (real and blocked) are in the top section of hole 15? = A

2 - S 33°54.263
E 018°23.897

This Maze claims to be the third largest in the world. Considering I know 2 larger mazes in the Cape area, Cape Town must have the 3 largest mazes in the world - unless there is some dodgy advertising going on here.
This maze is "for the delight of ladies and gentlemen".
How many ladies and gentlemen in total can be seen on the poster? = B

3 - S 33°54.149
E 018°23.941

This blue train has been going for decades. Those who have done Vespax's "Cape Affair" might recognise this train from that. While placing this cache, I had a ride on the train. Most entertaining, and very rough!
On the Entrance sign, is a sponsor in the corner (____ signs)
C = number of letters in the word before SIGNS

4 - S 33°54.100
E 018°23.992

What year was this fine building established? = 18D4

Final cache is hidden at :

S 33° 54.(D+1)(B-1)0
E 018° 23.(A+4)(C+2)2

Today the Cape Town stadium hosted its first Rugby match and the area was abuzz. I challenged the boys to a Putt-Putt game and only just won. After picking up the first clue, we made our way to the maze and found the gatekeeper in a rather relaxed mood (see picture). Clue 3 and 4 got sorted out quick-quick after which we decided to replenish our reserves before going for the kill. Ground Zero was located without too much of a search. Retrieving the treasure was another story. The cache is out of reach of prying eyes and fingers and necessitates the use of a wire to coerce it out of its hide. With all the security presence and a police helicopter circling the stadium, we didn't want to trigger the bomb squad and therefore abandoned our efforts. I hope the cache owner doesn't have a problem if we log it as found.
