Zwavelpoort Series:
Back in 2007, Team Cabey mounted their bicycles and went on a planting spree in the hidden gem that is the Zwavelpoort (Swallow's Portal) valley. There are beautiful homes on gracious plots, riding schools, a vineyard, a variety of buck and livestock and incredible views. There were six caches, but three are behind a security gate and had to be archived.
Getting there... Drive out on Lynwood Rd to S25 49.665 E28 23.433 and turn onto the Zwavelpoort rd. There will be some dirt-road driving in what another cacher called the "Zwavelpoort Maze" but a sedan with decent clearance should be ok. Don't bring your sportscar with low-profile tyres etc.
We suggest the following sequence:
- Fishtank WayPoint
- Boulders Gate Clue
- Fishtank
- Boulders Gate
- Protea Perch
Protea Perch
This cache is a medium size container. The road to this one is quite bad and you shouldn't turn left off the main dirt track too soon! Parking is tricky, sooo we suggest that you drive past the cache and park at the tree a bit further on (S 25° 51.032 E 028° 22.126) and stroll back to the cache. There are some mugglehouses nearby, so please carefully restore the cache to its hidey spot. We also met up with a scorpion (little) nearby. So please be careful.
