Geocache Description:


Background

Jukskei is the first indigenous sport in South Africa developed into a national and international sport, with the national facilities situated at Jukskeipark in Kroonstad. Jukskei is played with a team consisting of 4 players. Each player pitches an object, called a skey, underhand over a fixed distance to a pen stuck into a sand pit. Each player has 2 skeys and players from the two teams will alternate throwing to the same pen. Hitting the pen scores you 3 and a lay (when a skey lands closer than 460mm to the pen) scores you 1. Each team must get as close as possible to 23 points. If you go over 23, you will have to start again.
A jukskei museum is also on the premises and the keys can be collected at the reception office Jukskeipark is also a fully licensed holiday resort with 20 self catering chalets (M-Net and braai's) and 9 caravan / camping sites with power.

The Cache

The cache is a standard container with space to trade and is in plain sight and at the indicated coords.

Trading

Trade items must be sports-related goodies.

ADDED FUN

For added fun you can ask the receptionist for a skey and pen (no money involved) to try your hand at jukskei. It is a lot of fun and not as easy as it looks - Trust me!
Visit the museum - get the keys from reception.

The receptionist and grounds keeper are aware of the cache and have given permission for the cache
