The given coordinates are for a parking place near the cache somewhere in the Kleinmond area.
The cache is situated in a coastal area of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Scientists have divided the plants of the world into six different areas or floral kingdoms. The smallest of these is the Cape Floral Kingdom which, however, has the largest number of plants of them all! When the Dutch established a replenishment station at the Cape in 1652, the plants they found here appeared strange and were unknown to them. Since so many of the plants had fine needle-shaped leaves, they called them “fijn bosch”, which means fine-leaved bushes. Today we call all the plants growing in this narrow coastal strip “Fynbos” although not all of them have fine needle-like leaves. Fynbos consists of over 8000 species of plants, but three plant families are always found in Fynbos. They are the PROTEA family, the heather or ERICA family and the thatching reeds or RESTIO family. On the way to this cache you will see them all.
Park at the coordinates given, enter the gate and follow the track for a few hundred meters until you get to a large concrete block marked A5. How many steel rods stick out of the top of this block? This is A.
Proceed to 34deg 20.71A and 018deg 59.6(2xA)8. How many cement columns are there on top of the rock at this point? This is B.
In the same area find the birthdate of AKM. From the date derive C in 13.6.19C0.
Take A, B and C to get to the final cache site using the following formula:
S34deg A0.C8C and E018 5(A+C). (C-A) 3 (C-B)
The cache is a Tupperware box wrapped in a black plastic bag.
