Geocache Description:

A two stage cache. The coordinates is where you can park your car and solve the riddle that will give you the location of the cache. Please enjoy the view from this cache.

You can park at the first coordinate alongside to the road and next to the railroad fence. This is fairly safe as there is a security guard a few meters down the road guarding a boom to an cellar. The closest building will be a pump building on the other side of the road. Behind it is a dam that hold irrigation water and on the shores of this dam is where the actually cache is hidden. To locate it you need to solve the following simple equation : The pump building has four walls, if the wall facing Stellenbosch is 1 and the other walls are number incrementally in a clockwise fashion ending with the wall facing the dam as 4, what number is the wall with the door ?

To reach the cache you only have to calculate the last 3 digit of the coordinates. So we have the following :

S 33 57.DAC
E 18 47.DBB

A = the number of the wall with the door in.
B = double the value of A.
C = double the value of B.
D = C minus halve of A.

This cache is on a privately owned farm. The farm owner has given permission for the cache and visitors are asked to please close the gate leading to the pump building behind them. Feel free to enjoy the view you have from the cache and to take pictures, however camping at the cache or having a picnic next to it should only be done with prior arrangement.

The cache is hidden under a tree, be careful as the leaves of this tree can be quite "spiky" and you will have to look around for it a bit. The cache is a 2L ice cream tub inside a bag and inside you will find a log book that you can sign.
