Geocache Description:


General:

This is a traditional cache with the normal goodies placed on a hill with a view over the dam.

Right now you are on your way to the Brummer Dam. Very few people actually realize that there are two dams in this area. There is no entrance fees to this dam. A gravel road will guide you but there is various off-road tracks that will take you directly to the cache if you are brave enough. In this area several quad bike competitions are held quite regularly. Try to follow the sequence of the series and all will be fine. The terrain can be rough and I made the cache finds relatively easy.

From this point you will have a clear view on the Willem Brummer Dam. Please enjoy it and keep your eyes open for any muggles and other strange elements and nastiest.

The town Ermelo is supplied with raw water from the Douglas dam and the Willem Brummer dam. These dams are approximately 8 km to the north west of the town. Other water resources is the Usutu-vaal system which is in turn fed by the Jerico, Morgenzon and Heyshope dams. The raw water is purified at the northern water purification works, which has a purification capacity of about 13.2 Ml/day. The southern purification works has a capacity of about 5 Ml/day and it is used as a standby during emergency situations such as draught periods. Enjoy it.
