Geocache Description:

There are so many interesting places to visit at Kaapsehoop. This cache will take you on a small hunt to show you some interesting places you might normally miss out on.

The above co-ords are NOT the final co-ords.. You will need to use the images below and find the missing pieces of the images to calculate the final co-ords of the cache.

We suggest you park at the given co-ords above and go on foot the rest of the way.. Most of the points are within 100m of the parking, some are much closer. Just keep your eyes open.

One of the points will require a short walk of about 200 to 300m (follow the footprints) to the Kaapsehoop Hiking Trail Hut.. All the others are much closer..

Photo A: Kaapsehoop Hiking Hut

(Collect A and B from this image)

Photo B: The Mining Comissioners House

(Collect C,D,E and F from this image)

Photo C: Free Range Sign

(Collect G,H,I,J,K,L and M from this image) - Convert each letter to its numerical equivalent eg A=1, B=2 etc

Photo D: Question Mark ?

(Collect N,O,P and Q from this image)- Convert each letter to its numerical equivalent eg A=1, B=2 etc - This sign no longer exists, so all you need to know is that O = 5

While exploring this area dont forget to visit :-

  • The Jail (You can often see wild horses inside it now)
  • The Pronoia Chapel (Pretty impressive)

Now that you have all the information required, the final cache is located at S 25 35.XYZ and E 030 46.STU where
X = (O - 1)
Y = D
Z = (B + B)
S = H
T = (F - 1)
U = (L - 3)

Have fun....
