Geocache Description:


Kasteelpoort Pipe

This is one of three caches placed in celebration of my first hike along the wonderful Pipe Track from Kloof Nek to Slangolie Ravine. The others are Shady Pipe GC2Y72T and Woody Pipe GC2Y6DH.

For a detailed description of the Pipe Track see here.

To Reach the Cache:

Approach 1 (from Kloof Nek): If you wish to experience the Pipe Track from its starting point - and pick up some additional caches, park @ Kloof Nek near S33 56.546 18 23.703 and locate the Pipe Track trail head some 50m NW near the main road junction. Head along the track passing the Shady Pipe cache and three other great caches en route, Henzz’s The Easiest Cache on Table Mountain GC2XXFN, cobusvanbosch’s Heritage Cache GC11QAR and Henzz’s Joshua Penny cache GC2NWMA.

Approach 2 (from Camp’s Bay): This is a much shorter route and should get you to GZ within 20-30 minutes. Park @ S33 57.772 E18 23.056 off Theresa Avenue and head up to join the Pipe Track @ S33 58.031 E18 23.254. From here it is only around 400m right (south) to the cache.

The cache, a camo-taped tablet pot, is hidden a short distance off the trail.

Note: the terrain rating of 2.5 reflects the longer approach from Kloof Nek
