Geocache Description:

This cache is a micro-with-a-difference (Bring your own writing implement) The published co-ords will take you to a really cool airfield on the very scenic Boschkop road where you will see 1 and 2 seater planes, gyrocopters and mini-helis in action. Make sure you bring your camera.

Best time of day is between 15h30-17h30 when the enthusiasts sneak out of work early for a quick flight. There is a puzzle to solve, but it's just to take you to the best places!

We wanted to call it Kitty Hawk's Cache, but the kiddo wanted "Things with Wings" - Minority rules! And we quite like it anyway!

The first cache was muggled, so we've re-planted it.

You may see a some "things with wings" taking off, landing and being serviced in the buildings on the way to the cache...

To find the cache:

  1. Head out on the Boschkop road to the published co-ordinates. Park in the demarcated areas and stroll to the published spot,and from there you will see the clubhouse, which, if you look at it from above in GoogleEarth is shaped like a KittyHawk. You will also see the two runways and hopefully a plane or two taking off and landing.
  2. Count the number of Square Pillars (see pic) that support the veranda of the Clubhouse. Call this value "P".
  3. a=P+1
    b=P+3
    c=P+2
    d=P/P
    e=P-P
    f=P+3
  4. The cache is at S25 51.abc E28 27.def
  5. Go find it!
There is a nice restaurant there at the clubhouse.
This cache requires stealth and muggles pop up from nowhere. Fortunately a camera around your neck and gawking at the things with wings will serve as good cover!

We really hope you enjoyed this location as much as we did!
