LOGGING:

You may only log a "Found it" on this cache if you have met the requirements AND found and signed the physical cache logbook. You are welcome to visit the cache container to sign the logbook at any time, and log a "Write Note" on this cache saying that you have done so. You can then log a "Found It" or convert your note once you meet the challenge requirements.

In order to show that you have met the challenge requirements, you must provide some form of proof. This could be the output from the Project-GC challenge checker (click on the banner above). Or it could be a list of your qualifying caches stating, at a minimum, the cache GC Code, date found, and relevant attributes it has.

 

The Cache:

From the parking coordinates you walk towards the first waypoint, keeping right at the fork in the road. Here you will encounter the first gate. On the left of the gate a opening was made where hikers can climb through. 

Walk down the valley, and up on the other side, from where the road will gradually turn to the right, and eventually you will get to the next locked gate, marking the start of the Wilderness area. 

Again, to the left of the gate, an opening was made to walk through. From here the path is a bit overgrown, with Proteas and fynbos growing in the middle of the road. Continue with this path untill you reach the cache. It is an old jeep track all the way to the cache.

The difficulty and terrain rating is based on the overall effort to qualify for this cache. The cache itself would be 2.5 difficulty, 4.5 terrain.
