Circus
The Big Top is now a permanent feature on the Wilkie farm in Daleside.
The farm is home to horses, ponies, dogs and several farm animals, and of course to the
Wilkies and their extended family, all of whom are instrumental in keeping the circus alive.
Permission to place this cache on the premises was obtained from Marcel and Dorothy de Lange.
Open:
Tuesdays to Fridays : 10am to 5pm
Saturdays, Sundays and Public holidays : 8am to 5pm
CIRCUS SUPERSTITIONS
Never count the audience
Accidents always happen in threes
Always enter the ring with your right foot first
Never whistle in the dressing room
Never sleep inside the Big Top
In pictures, elephants must always have their trunks up
Never look back during the circus parade
Never sit on the circus ring facing out
Peacock feathers are bad luck
Never steal from a town that welcomes the circus
Never touch a clown
Ok, now let's find the cache!
At the published coordinates you will find the information to calculate the coordinates for the final cache location.
Facing the house you will find steps leading up to the stoep with a picket fence on the front and right side of the stoep.
To calculate YYY and ZZZ you will need the following information;
1. No of uprights in the picket fence on the left side of the stairs = a
2. No of uprights in the picket fence on the right side of the stairs = b
3. No of uprights in the picket fence on the far right side of the stoep = c
4. d = 6
5. No of upright poles for the two lapas = e
Now calculate the following;
YYY = b x d
ZZZ = ((a+b+c)x7)-e
Therefore the final coordinates = S26º 29.YYY E28º 03.ZZZ
Happy Hunting.
