Nottingham Road has been in existence for over 160 years, even before the railway arrived there in 1882. The hotel was established in 1854 and is supposed to be haunted by a ghost that frequents Room No.13.
The name derives from a garrison of the 1st Sherwood Foresters Regiment from Nottingham in England who were stationed in the area to protect newly established farmers, in the distant past, from cattle rustlers coming over the hills from the Drakensberg Mountains.
Today there is a very neglected station and a hotel where one can get refreshments after a long journey, but catching a train to anywhere can be a problem. Sadly the station building was burnt down in February 2018 reportedly by vagrants living in the roof.
The cache is small with little room for GCs or TBs, but does have a pencil and a log.
The cache is 1478m AMSL.
Pushed up to D2.5 as it seems to be a bit difficult for some folk !
