Geocache Description:

A traditional, camouflaged cache on Damkoppie on the outskirts of Beaufort West with views over the town and the Great Karoo. Depending on how you approach it, it will take between 15 and 45 min.




“Jy was Beautiful in Beaufort-Wes, en ek was so verskrik en verskriklik lief vir jou, en ek en jy het op grafte en op treine en op Ford Fairlane se agterseats gevry...”

If you’ve never listened to this hauntingly beautiful song by Gert Vlok Nel you could consider watching the video (which could easily be found on the internet) as part of this cache experience. Die cache sal hopelik ook ‘n bietjie van daardie Groot-Karoo-rustigheid oor jou bring - of dit nou by die huis is wanneer jy die video kyk of wanneer jy op Damkoppie staan voor jy weer die verkeer op die N1 gaan trotseer.

How to get there: If you have a car with a fair amount of ground clearance (we’ve seen ordinary sedans up there) you can drive up to 15m from the cache. From Donkin street (N1) turn east into Kerkstraat, turn left (north) at the T-junction and right (east) on the small dirt road just after the AGS-kerk. If you feel uncomfortable tackling this rocky road you can park at the supplied co-ords and follow the trail that starts at the north-eastern end of the parking area (next to the fence), which will get you to the cache in ~550m.

Lekker cache!
