A Tribute to Friends and Family Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: It is really sad to see this one go but the cache was last found in October 2017 and CO last responded in March 2019 . This one has been allowed a longer disabled life in hopes it would be repaired but sadly this is not the case.

Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

Knagur Green

Geocache Description:


A two stage multi cache along a beautiful riverside trail near the Newlands Forest.

Please park near the “parking” co-ordinates, do not however park opposite the white ropes. To respect the local residents who have granted permission to place this cache and to avoid issues with the security please do not attempt this cache at night.

Stage 1 is at the listed coordinates and will take you to a board where you will need to calculate the cipher. The NUMERICAL POSITION of the pictures on the physical board at the coordinates correlates to the cipher picture below will equal the corresponding number needed to insert into the coordinates.

For example if you see the walking the dog picture and determine on the board it is the first picture then the NUMERICAL POSITION is equal to 1 because it is the first picture therefore its value then also equals 1. And so on for the second picture would equal 2 for the NUMERICAL POSITION.




Then take the answers you get for A,B,C,D,E,F and insert them into the following to get the next stage.

PLEASE NOTE that finding the information flyers about the park does not constitute a find. You need to find the logbook and it is a sneaky hide and yes it is definitely there very safe and sound.

S 33° 58.ABC E 018° 27.DEF

THE KEY OR TOOL REQUIRED to open the cache can be found if you walk 8 meters past the FINAL coordinates there are two upright poles. On the right side of the right upright pole is a loose stone. Underneath are a few wooden tools needed in order to open the cache. There are back up tool under several other stones between there and the cache container including under the stones at the base of the tree right at the cache.

Please just return the Tools

The name originates from the birthday spot and day for Pixel on the year the cache was placed. We were looking for a pretty spot to have a picnic and a family member suggested this Park. We had a great time there with friends and family, hence the name.

Credit for 1st cache placement must however go to Vespax for a cache that he had here.

Take your time to enjoy this patch of Eden. Many thanks to Joan from the BVRA for permission and help in placing this cache. Thanks also to cachers AndreNikki who helped with the idea and loaned me their garage.

As evenings are popular with dog walkers and family’s you might want to avoid them. The cache is accessible from the clearings, no bush bashing required. Please replace as you found.

Trust that you have lovely time here enjoying nature the environment and the cache.
