Geocache Description:


General:

This cache is a traditional cache which contains the normal goodies. It is located in a grey panel in the corner of a brick wall. Cache is accessible from the street and there is no need to enter the premises. Cache is planted with permission from the owner. If you have to record a DNF please make sure that you are at the correct house, or town or whatever. Use number 363 for lock.  

This way point will take you to my little place in the sun. This is my home and my fort when I am not in Gauteng . If I am at home you are more than welcome to visit the "King" of this fort. If I am not available then the "Queen" will make the decisions and she will probably not let you in for obvious reasons. 

I will use this cache as a TB safe house. If you are stuck with any travellers then feel free to drop them and I will move them around. It should be safe for them. Please record the drop in the log book. If there is any travellers feel free to take some or all of them.

I added a cell number to this cache. If you have an emergency then you could use this cache to contact me or my wife. Or you could use it to say "Hi and Bye" to the occupants of the fort. If you are German it is compulsory to speak German. If you understand the German culture you will also understand that you have to announce your visit before arriving at the cache - in case you plan to visit the fort. This is not needed when only a cache find is done. It is also a German custom to give flowers or chocolates to the wife when you visit the fort. Please refrain from using any black language as my wife could choose to ignore you or worse.

Risk and Hazards (1 is low, 3 is average, 5 is extreme):

  • You should have the opportunity to meet three dogs. The little foxy is called Buks. The middle size one is called Terry and the German shepherd is called Rex. Rex is our cacher dog and he will probably be worried when you visit this cache. Be careful and do not approach the two bigger black dogs. They are extremely aggressive. There is a sliding gate which is always kept close and you are safe. Do not exit the vehicle when the green sliding gate is open. They are trained and they will attack without any warning signs. Do not approach the gate and make sure that you have all children under control. Do not put your hand or arm through the green sliding gate. You will be a one armed bandit after this stunt. If they bother you too much then you must say the following key words "Rex, agter toe", "Terry agter toe", "Buks agter toe".  Your challenge is to identify the correct dog. If it is Rex then he will not respond if you use the word "Terry". No other words must be used and you must say it firm and loud. Do it a couple of times and they should respond. If they do not then clap your hands once to get their attention and repeat the key words again. If you used the commands and they responded please record it in your log. Risk is about 3.
  • Muggles and muggers - it should be safe but this is RSA so keep your eyes open when you visit this cache. Park your vehicle in the street if you are concerned so that you can not be blocked with another vehicle. Keep the engine running and watch your surroundings. Please do not leave grandma, grandpa, wife, husband or any naughty children at the cache location when you feel there is any "danger". Think of the consequences before you hit the accelerator pedal. Muggles and muggers are a risk factor of 2. Leaving family members behind could also be a 2.
