The cache.

In order to find this cache you will need to visit the Krantzkloof Nature Reserve.  Parking is available in the picnic area. A small admission charge is levied (R20 per adult, R10 per child at the time of publishing) Holders of Rhino Cards gain free admission.

Once in the reserve, you should follow the Yellow Trail to the bottom of the gorge.  Be sure to arrange a hiking party of at least two persons and take sufficient water with you.

This is a medium to strenuous hike and will take a minimum of two hours to complete.  You will need to descend to the bottom of the gorge and will cross the Molweni river twice.  Note that after heavy rains it may not be possible to cross the Molweni River.  The staff at the KKNR office wil be able to assist.  In winter (May - September) the river is normally easily crossed using stepping stones at each crossing point.

The D/T rating of this cache reflects the qualification criteria.  The true D/T rating of the physical cache is D2 / T 3.5.

A spoiler pic is supplied with the listing.
