Geocache Description:

A fairly short hike of about 45 min to the cache above Newlands forest but it gets a little steep.

Beware of this cache! It could keep you from geocaching! D.I.Y. is a collection of tools to help you do all those nasty tasks that you should do instead of spending your time wandering the woods geo searching.

There are more places to start than I can think of, but a convenient car park is at the Forestry station and Titan helicopter landing pad at S 33° 58.272 E 018° 27.008 on the M3.

GPS reception is poor in the forest but improves dramatically when you get near the cache so the final location should be ok.

The cache is a see through 2L Tupperware container with blue lid in a crevice covered with some small rocks. You should spot the blue lid with a little careful searching.

The elevation is 398m.
This is a dog friendly cache.
