Shortcut Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Brick: After finding a parking spot, 1.7km from the cache, I decided that this is no longer a Shorcut. The whole area is being fenced in, and I am sure, shortly we will not be able to go up there. I picked up the container and the bag, and did a bit of a cleanup around the site. Thanks for everyone who visited the site.

Geocache Description:


This cache is a 1.5l container wrapped in a black plastic bag and is placed on top of the Magaliesberg, just off one of the footpaths that criss-cross the mountain range. Schoolkids that live on the Northern side of the Mountain use this as a shortcut to get to the school on the southern side. The best, I found, is to park on the SOUTHERN side, next to the HTS John Vorster in 30th street, and follow the path up from there.

The path is very rocky and is quite a tester on the way down again, so please be very careful, But going up, looking for a spot, placing the cache and coming down took me 40 minutes.

Park at S25°41.750 E28°14.076

PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SNAKES AND NASTIES BEFORE REMOVING ROCKS.

First to find honors go to Swallow

I have adjusted the coords slightly. East has now changed from 970 to 973. Slight change, but will hopefully help.
