Geocache Description:

This cache is inspired by the beauty of the unknown in the berg. It is for those who are willing to venture beyond the path... it has a great view, aptly named #147 for my measured heart rate at the time we reached the summit.  It is also the first overnight hike that my 3 year old daughter did and she walked the entire way and slept in sleeping beauty cave. 

 

 


In fact, all of my hiking experiences I have never once stayed on a path the entire hike, as the best moments/views/experiences are found when we wander around off the track just a little.  

my 3 year old daughter walked the entire to sleeping beauty cave.  so i guess if she can do it, I'm certain you can reach a little further to get to this cache :) 

 

You can use  'Engagement cave' base as the start to this nice little climb up a grassy slope to reach the closest saddle of a fantastic rock formation cluster and have the most breath taking 360 degree views. (Take a camera and a water bottle) 

[Definition 'Saddle': a ridge connecting two higher elevations]

My brother and I started hiking the berg with my father, and in our avid boy scouting careers as young boys and teenagers. This place holds absolute fond memories with our family and friends. We have hiked in many areas of the berg, yet there are still so many paths that are yet to be navigated and explored. 

Inside the cache was originally left a friendship tag from a Holland (our family roots), then an Easter egg as it was hidden on the Easter weekend, and finally a beach ball marble to symbolise our home roots on the sunny south coast of Amanzimtoti, Durban.   

Happy hunting, happy views and take some pics and attach it to your log and show us the berg's mood you were welcomed with, when you went up the mountain.
