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
FISHTANK
The waypoint is what you will find first when you come into Zwavelpoort. The published co-ords will bring you to a spot where you can lean your elbows on a fence and have a brilliant view over a vineyard. The clue that will lead you to the parking and cache-location is very sneakily hidden. Try and find it without the hint. If you can't find it, then try the hint, if you still can't find it, then decode the additional clue below...

The waypoint the final cache co-ords.
The cache is on private property and we have the owners permission. He welcomes birdwatchers and people who care about the environment. He doesn't like noisy dirtbikes.
