Geocache Description:

This cache commemorates 1000 days since I found my first cache. They say it's not about the numbers but this one is all about some numbers.

The starting co-ordinates are the carpark and entry point to the reserve. It is a biodiversity and rehabilitation area under enhancement by the locals nearby. You can read more about it on the sign as you approach the carpark.

You only need to solve the 4 number puzzles below and obtain the numbers for the letters in the fractions, AB, CD, EF & GH, where the first 3 are 2 digit numbers and G & H are not the same number. Some numbers are also used separately to solve the cache location.

NB. There may be more than 1 solution to No. 4 but only one will give you the correct answer to the South co-ordinates.
You can solve these before you arrive and then the final numbers at the entry gate.
XY = the number of round posts on the ground in an 8 shape.

To find the cache use the following -
S 35 07.A(G+H+X)B
E147 18.(AB+CD+EF+GH+XY-G-H)

It will be a reasonable walk and vehicles are not allowed into the reserve. If you keep to the track the terrain is reasonable but if you try a shortcut it will be more difficult.

The cache is a small waterproof sistema container with just a few small swaps.

It should be very quiet and you will have another different view of the city from here.
