Geocache Description:

Take a walk through this city bowl park. Chase down all the clues and add up the numbers. Please note that the cache area can only be accessed between 0600 and 1800, and that man’s best friend will only be allowed at the first part of your cache hunt. Watch the tree cover, as it's likely to affect your GPSr reception.

Waypoint 1: Find yourself at S33° 56.220, E018° 24.709. At this location you will a cast iron structure that was built for the 190A to B Cape Town Exhibition.
B minus A=C

Waypoint 2: Now take a heading of 110° True for a distance of 217 meters. Here you will find an archway supported by a keystone and a number of supporting stones (well castings, really) on either side. D=keystone+supporting stones+3.

Waypoint 3: Almost there. Take a heading of 307° True for 180 meters. Here you will see an iron structure that features E petals on the tier with the greatest diameter (chest level). You can seek confirmation by finding the plaque dedicated to Bessie and Penny – look for the second digit.
E divided by 3=F

Waypoint 4. Apply your answers to this set of coordinates: S33° 56.[F times D]2, E018° 2[A].[B plus C][[D times 2] minus A]. Look south. This building was constructed in 189H.

Waypoint 5: Find yourself 340 meters away at a bearing of 102° True. You will be standing on J sturdy planks (but beware, as their widths vary).

Waypoint 6: Now head for S33° 56.275 E018° 24.814. Here you will find some benches and a lovely view to glance at while you work out the final coordinates!

Cache location: S33° 56.[F][H]1, E018° 24.[J divided by F][D]

Plenty of muggles about, so act like a spy when you retrieve this one.
