Geocache Description:


“I'm not lost for I know where I am.
But however, where I am may be lost.”

― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.”

― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

…Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.


One day when he was out walking, he came to an open place in the middle of the forest, and in the middle of this place was a large oak-tree, and, from the top of the tree, there came a loud buzzing-noise.

Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think.

First of all he said to himself: "That buzzing-noise means something. You don't get a buzzing-noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something. If there's a buzzing-noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee."

Then he thought another long time, and said: "And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey."
And then he got up, and said: "And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it."


Winnie the Pooh and the bees

“When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh


the track circumnavigating 100 Aker Wood The 100 Aker Wood here at Tupari Reserve is more like 50 Akers.

There’s a track circumnavigating the bush of about 1.3 km in length. It’s a great family walk especially with your dog, but there are numerous roots across the track making stroller or wheelchair access impossible.

All the caches are near the track and none are near the stream. Big stones and rox is a couple of metres above the track with the stream below the track.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[There are no bees nearby. They're in a tree further along the track and no danger]
