This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

Geocache Description:


___Gautrain: Site Visit____

The cache is not hidden at the published coordinates, but they will lead you to Waypoint 01.
This is probably the closest you will get to one of the Gautrain Sites, located at the end of the
cul-de-sac (approximately 18m from WP01).

The Gautrain is South Africa's first Rapid Rail Link between Pretoria and Johannesburg, and
Sandton to the International Airport, as shown in the drawing.

This section near WP01 is the deepest cut section for the train tracks that will remain open,
as shown in the pictures below.

The other sections of the route will be on viaducts, in tunnels or cut and cover sections, as
shown below.

More information on the Gautrain can be obtained from: www.gautrain.co.za

The final coordinates to the cache can be obtained from Waypoint 01 (S26 04.885, E28 07.576).
The cache is a small 500ml lock-and-lock container.

Please respect the area where the final cache is located.

Enjoy the Hunt.
