Geocache Description:

Another of our movie-themed puzzles in the Moreleta Reserve. The published co-ordinates take you to the gate. But the cache is not at the published co-ords... You'll have to calculate your way to this one!

Do you remember the cuddly Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi?"
They live on the forest moon of Endor where the Empire was building a power station for the latest Death Star. The Ewoks have hidden a cool treasure which can be found at S25 49.VVV E28 16.HHH.

PUZZLE: In the movie one of the Ewoks steals an Imperial 74-Z Military Speederbike. He throws the accelerator wide open with hilarious results.
He covers 12.134kms in 2 minutes before crashing into a tree.
  • To get HHH you will need to work out his average speed and double it.
  • To get VVV you will need to work out how many seconds of panic-hilarity he experienced!

Chop off the decimals for both VVV and HHH.

PLEASE STICK TO DEMARCATED PATHS TO GET TO THIS CACHE. This means you will walk a bit of a loop, but it is worth it.

The Moreleta Nature Reserve is situated in the east of Pretoria. Access to the park is free and you can park safely at S 25° 49.017 E028° 17.462.
