My wife's family have been coming to Franskraal for many years and our late Great Uncle Welf retired here. Uncle Welf's house was near the end point of this multi-stage cache. He always had a fishing story to tell and his back garden filled my kids with wonder as they were able to pick fresh carrots, beans, peas or what ever he was growing at the time, something that us city dwellers don't get to do often.
This multi-stage cache will start the parking lot over looking what our family calls "The White Beach" a favorite spot for a sort walk or a splash in the waves. Park at the given co-ordinates for the start, you could choose to walk, cycle or drive to each to way point the and total distance is about 3 km's along the beach road. Your explorations will take you past 3 other cache's which you are welcome to find. Each waypoint has some information needs to be obtained to find the solution to the puzzle, which will review the final co-ordinates.

How to solve this puzzle At each waypoint there are some questions asked. The questions relate to information obtained at each waypoint, the information is in the form of a number, take the number and fill this into the blocks provided, each number will map to a letter of the alphabet. Once you have completed all of the waypoints and have all of the numbers use the letters that correspond to each of the numbers to complete the final co-ordinates. For and example, at waypoint one there is a information board about dolphins. The question: Dolphins swim in groups larger than ? Look for the information on the board, in this case the answer is 200 You would then enter the value of 200 in the 3 squares so
Dolphins swim in groups larger than ?
The final sum might be 34 (A+B+C) ° 17 Which would be 34 (2+0+0) = 34.2°17
