Second of our caches set up at a local cricket ground
This cache has been changed to a 35mm film canister after the
original lunchbox was muggled. The cache is hidden at the entrance
of the Sports Ground, just off the N2 between Port Elizabeth and
Grahamstown.
The ground had a thriving sports club, with tennis courts, a squash
court and two cricket fields. Sadly, due to the increase in game
farms in the area, fewer farmers are around and the cricket section
has fallen away. This is particularly sad as the cricket club has
been in existence for almost 100 years. If you are feeling brave,
and there are people around, you can pop into the clubhouse and
have a look at the photos showing 'Cricketers at lunch, 1910' and
other old photos and trophies. Fortunately, although the local team
has fallen away, the ground is currently used by Kenton-on-Sea as
their home venue. The tennis club is still active so this old
ground is used from time to time.
Take a moment to admire the view, and wander around if you want to,
though there is no need to actually enter the grounds to find the
cache.
As with most cricket venues, weekends between September and April
will be full of muggles in white...chasing a red leather
ball!
Please note that the dirt road is very busy and here are lots of
muggled around. STEALTH is essential!!
FTF to iNokia.
