Geocache Description:

Only a stone throw away from Johannesburg International Airport, this cache series has been influenced by one of our favourite television shows: The Amazing Race. Be prepared to go where no geocacher has gone before, as your mind, body and soul will be tested to the ultimate degrees, minutes & seconds!


Welcome to the Amazing Cache!

For any information you may need concerning the series, or to educate yourself on the terminology, please see http://amazingcache.koneki.com (You can also find extra hints here as well!)

The first pitstop of this series begins in our wonderful home country of South Africa.  You will need to travel by car to the above co-ordinates where you can park your car and start this leg of the race.

Detour
 You will need to make a choice between 2 separate routes here: The High Road and The Low Road. If you  wish to continue with the Amazing Cache series and the rest of the race, you will need to take the High Road.   This route entails difficult-to-reach waypoints and tricky hiding spots, but if you apply your mind, you will surely enjoy the challenge.  If you feel too weak at heart to attempt the High Road, you may take the Low Road route, a much easier choice, which will still get you to the final cache, but you will be eliminated from the race.

If you choose to take the High Road, please read the Cache Details for Pitstop #2 (Japan), before you attempt this cache. (This is intended to save you time & frustration).

Each route contains 4 waypoints before they both lead to the final cache. The co-ordinates given above will put you in the centre of the 1st waypoints, before you decide to make your route choice.  The waypoints are separated by large distances (between 800m - 1,2km), so your car or bicycle is going to come in handy.

Okay! Let's get going, enjoy the RACE!

  • High Road 1st Waypoint: S 26 05.776, E 028 09.106
  • Low Road 1st Waypoint: S 26 05.371, E 028 09.045

 -  Please be careful when logging the cache (Do not give away any co-ordinates or locations)
  -  Please watch out for geomuggles! You never know when you're being watched...
  - Replace and Hide cache exactly as found (We're trying to blend in with the environment here!)
