In order to find the cache, you will have to find 6 caches with snake names along the St Blaize trail. Each cache contain a clue in the lid and logbook to get to this cache.
This cache is placed near the Dana Bay side starting point of the St Blaize trail. The trail can be done from Dana Bay, or from the Point in Mossel Bay. To get all the clues you need, I suggest you start from a place where your first cache in the series is dispholifus typus.
There are other caches along this hike to do as well!
The trail is 13.5 km long from The Point to Malva Street, Dana Bay, Mossel Bay.
Trail ends here:
S 34° 12.186'
E 022° 03.367'
There is a sign indicating the trail here, where this series of caches start.
S 34° 11.495'
E 022° 08.583'
It is safe to leave your vehicle here, just clear of the road.
All the caches you need to find in order to get the coordinates for this cache, is along that route.
THE ST BLAIZE TRAIL:
The white-coloured Oystercatchers mark the way on the St Blaize Trail; their beaks point you in the right direction
The St. Blaize Trail is a popular 13.5 km (6 hour) hike that follows the 30 metre contour along the cliffs westwards from the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse. It begins at the Cave below the Lighthouse, and ends at Dana Bay (you can walk it in either direction), and is marked with the sign of the Oystercatcher (see photo). Parking is available at both the St. Blaize Cave and Dana Bay. The trail offers dramatic sea views, excellent whale and dolphin watching, good birding, and interesting fynbos. It is a moderately difficult walk that requires a reasonable degree of fitness. Carry water, use hats and sun-block, and exercise caution in wet weather, high winds, and mist. Exits and escape routes are situated far from the main roads and the town centre. Beware of snakes (especially puff adders - bitis arietans) and flying golf balls in the area where the trail crosses the Pinnacle Point Golf Course. Do not hike alone; children should not hike unaccompanied.
Road shuttle services are available to meet you and return you to your vehicle by prior arrangement. These can be found easily on Google.

It is cheapest to leave an extra vehicle at the end of the hike, to return you to town.
If I'm available, I will gladly do the hike with you.

CACHE INFO:
If normal coordinates look like this: S 34° 12.261' E 022° 03.968, then it would be broken down as follows:
A = S 34°
B = 12.
C = 261'
D = E 022°
E = 03.
F = 968'
Now you just need to find the correct coordinates to enter next to each clue, to get your coordinates.
