so, you were happily trundling along the Great North Walk; when, suddenly, you felt an irresistable urge to explore the other side of the river! - Busaco Road - We know! Lots of people get that burning desire at some point in their life..
WP0 You should probably start at the posted coordinates. Recently published records from the Bus Drivers' Guild tell us that this turning circle was voted Best Circle on Busaco Road 1981 to 1987 straight! Unbelievable! This WP has multiple signs , for example a No-Dogs sign worth noticing (see sample photo), hopefully this is a cynophobia friendly cache. -> but First you need to find out How Many Minutes? = "M"
To get the full appreciation of this loverly area (and find the cache) you'll need to visit a couple of choice locations. This may involve Going Bush (a tiny bit), and a rockface (not so tiny)..
WP1 the bus shelter half way down Busaco Rd is in front of number? - We'll call that number "A".
WP2 most of these steps are Carved Out of the rockface (with a spoon!), other appear to be slabs just laid on top. Count the carved steps section from the bottom up to the 'platform' with the burnt tree stump (pictures). - Call that number "BD"
WP3 how very civilized - a Handrail! Count the carved steps alongside the handrail - That's "C"
Cache is at:
S33 45.(A)(4*M/2)(B) E151 06.(C*2)(A)(D)
( Check: the Digital Root of the final 6 coordinate digits is 8 )
Best access is from Brown's Waterhole via Busaco Trail; or on a 292 bus from anywhere. Very poor parking on Busaco Road - best avoided... Mind the bus driver, he sometimes leaves his comfy seat for a bit of Stretch-those-tired-Legs.
Towards WP3 you will probably notice an additional sign saying NDA! - say What? No Dogs Allowed! (sorry Fido). Echidnas, Wallabies, and Possoms are regularly spotted along the trail so please don't bring the dog (We DO acknowledge that yours is the best doggie in the whole world, and wouldn't harm a flea; but still... ) - Did I mention the juicy fox-bait along the trail ?
- also , mind the snakes.
