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

A hard-core? cache in Nelspruit, with a twist, along the lines of the old (outlawed) moving caches, where every cacher who found the cache, moved it to a new hide. But, on a much smaller scale.
This cache will really show you who's your mate, and who's not.
Do You Love 'Em, or do You Hate 'Em?

The above co-ords will take you to a big round rock - the biggest, roundest rock in the area. This is "ground zero".
Search for the cache within 10m of ground zero.

Here's the rules for this cache: (And don't you dare break them!!)

- Find the cache, somewhere within 10m of ground zero. (OK, this rule can be broken)
- If you want to, rehide the cache in a new spot, but still within 10m of ground zero.
- 12 paces if you're "metres" challenged
- Feel free to leave evidence of the previous hide (stones, etc), or even to create decoys.
- You decide whether you want to be loved or hated by the next cacher.

We had the idea for this cache, and were battling to find a suitable location - needing a spot with many possible hides in a small area - Gps Storm pointed us in the right direction. This is the location where Mrs Gps Storm had to hunt for her birthday present!!! Howzat for the ultimate cache hunt!!!

Thanks Gps Storm for the location, but we'd like to apologise in advance. You might know roughly where it is, but that ain't gonna help you much (ha-ha).

Initial contents are logbook, pencil, sharpener and a "do-it-yourself" decoy kit.

We've set the terrain to 2 stars (that's what it is), and we've set the difficulty to 4 stars (that's right for our initial hide) - after that, it's anybody's guess!!

As Dirty Harry said "Do ya feel lucky?"

Disclaimer: The cache owners take no responsibility whatsoever for your level of frustration.
Let your log do the talking - do you love 'em, or do you hate 'em.

PS: Don't bother to phone the cache owners for a spoiler - we know as little as you do.

Park at the co-ords below. You can drive further but that's not permitted - walk the 160m to the cache, and keep your eyes peeled for the resident duiker near the cache location. Lovely to see that there are still wild antelope within the city.

Back in action, in a new hide. Difficulty amended to 4-stars.
Enjoy!! (Except the ants of course, which are back in full force after the recent rains!!)

I have been looking for this cache 4x without finding it. Now I "discovered" it while Fish Eagle replaced it. A bit of cheating, I guess...

#12 Found it !!!! & quite quickly too
The SUPER half of SUPERFUNKY & the Jay half of Joe & Jay (That makes us SUPERJay & leaves FUNKYJoe to have a turn later)
Unfortunately this cache had a muggle build a fire on top of it (& didn't even notice it was there) but it has destroyed the cache. So we have removed it & advised Fish Eagle.
Container melted
Some contents totally damaged
Log book OK
Blessings - TFTC
