Geocache Description:

Scenic walk along well defined footpaths. Some paths are rocky but mostly level. No scrambling required. PLEASE DO NOT RELEASE ANY OF THE ANIMALS FROM THEIR CAGE.,They are NOT swaps.

Greetings intrepid adventurers and big game hunters..

Let us take you on a journey around the wild, dangerous lands of the Dark Continent of Africa where, if you are very brave and lucky, you will see some of the large and magnificent beasts that stride the Serengeti, prowl the Pampas or conga in the Congo.

Ok, we fibbed about the Serengeti and the Pampas, which isn't even in Africa. We are talking about a disused quarry near Harden, but you may still come face to face with some of these creatures if you look carefully, and we dont mean muggles, although there may be some about.

This is a 5 part multi series of caches, 4 small and a final standard sized container, and should be completed in sequence 1 to 5. Inside the boxes there will be information which may well be useful to you to enable you to complete your adventure. Boxes 1 to 4 have insufficient room for trade items and please do not remove any of the animals that you see.

All the caches are on, or close to well defined footpaths and it is NOT necessary to go into any of the old quarry holes. Do not blindly follow your arrow, the footpaths will get you there. The terrain is naturally rocky in parts so suitable footwear should be worn. No need to take a pith helmet, we are already taking that.

No animals were hurt when setting this cache - except for our dogs, which are barking.

Suggest parking at 53 50.519 001 53 794.
