Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Geocache Description:

Cache not at site

The galjoen, black bream, or blackfish, Dichistius capensis, is a species of marine fish found only along the Atlantic coast of southern Africa from Angola to South Africa. It can be found around reefs at depths around10 m (33 ft). This species can reach 80 cm (31 in) in total length and a weight of 6.5 kg (14 lb). This species is important to local commercial fisheries and is also popular as a game fish.

It appears in particular to be partial to the white mussels residing in the sandy beaches and inlets of the rocky outcrops along the southern coast. It is the national fish of South Africa.




At the bench sit facing Lady Slipper, look to your right for a thorn tree. At the base you will find the cache.
