Silvermine-II Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

PieterM: I wish geocachers will help by replacing or even with a temporary log. When you see there is a DNF on a cache you are passing and it is because of muggles, please take a replacement.
I wont be able to go out there in the next 365 days. Sorry to let it go.

Geocache Description:


Nice easy cache you can do with your family and dogs. From the carpark it is a easy walk. Be on the lookout for dogpoo, I stepped in it twice, but otherwise its an easy walk.


Silvermine Nature Reserve forms part of the Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town, South Africa. It covers the section of the Cape Peninsula mountain range from the Kalk Bay mountains through to Constantiaberg. The area is a significant conservation area for the indigenous fynbos vegetation which is of the montane cone-bush type at this location. The Ou Kaapse Weg main road runs through the reserve, cutting it into a northern and southern section. The Silvermine reservoir, on the north side, was built in 1898 to supply water to Cape Town. Until recently there were significant pine plants in the reserve, but the last of these were felled in 2000 following a major fire in the area. The area is popular for walking, hiking, picnicking, and mountain biking. There are a number of sandstone cave systems in the reserve and there are rock climbing routes on Muizenberg.


The cache is placed about 1,5 - 2m off the jeeptrack and there is no need to search wider and trample the fynbos. Look at the spoiler picture and please hide the cache well after you have signed the log.
