On the right track but I need a bit more specific than that...

Who was Maurice Garin? Not South African but his name is synonymous this time of year.

Easy one. It is the largest cut diamond in the world. Known as the Cullinan 1 and set into the Royal Scepter. Cullinan 2 is also cut from the same stone and set into the Royal Crown. Both are kept in the Tower of London.

Great stuff, congrats Rolf... Just in time too as I have a 500 cache powertrail about ready for sending through. Hope you are ready for it, and they are all puzzles. Each one different..... hee hee

1907?

Brummer 2 Douglas Dam View?

Congrats to Tinkerbell-GP on reaching 400 during the week and then her 450 yesterday. Was glad I could do them with you. Hope we can get you to 500 soon.

It was actually tounge in cheek from my side. Just rustling some feathers... Not to worry. Is there a way of seeing which cachers seem to get the most frequent finds on new caches. To put it this way: Cache gets published and cachers rush out to get it. Who are the most prolific chasers of new caches in other words. Maybe focus on the day a cache gets published and finds on that particular day.

Way to go Discombobby type person.... Walkie Talkies were used for the first time in a Drakensberg Mountain rescue when 15 students became stranded, some on top of the Amphitheater and some below during a heavy snow storm. Two of the hikers succumbed to the freezing cold. Peter Christensen's body was found on the 5th of July once the snow had started melting 600m from the mountain hut. It is believed that after giving his jacket to fellow student Keith Erasmus, who also died, he made his way up the chain ladders to get help from the other students who had gone to get shelter in the Mountain hut. He was last seen ascending the chain ladder never to be seen alive again.

Haa haa FS, good try but nope.

Still none correct....

Nope... still wrong.

Nope.... none of you right so far.

19 44,681.61 Wazat If anybody would like the spreadsheet let me know and I'll email it to you. Is that all? Eish. Just over 10% of my Odometer reading in the car. But then I must take off about 5000 km for my trips to the EC and WC cause there i flew down. Also about 100km of walking on trails and such. And add about 100 000km for driving in circles. Hee hee

Wow ... the results are nothing as expected: By Type Count Fish Eagle Publish Listing 2469 Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah (yes I copied and pasted that) geoaware Publish Listing 100 If you exclude Found it and Published etc?

Stumped indeed. Quite interesting that the word stumped was used. As this is a cricket term and interestingly enough, they use a certain flower as their emblem... The Protea. Now the Protea Nubigena grows in a small patch on a steep ridge of Policemans Helmet in the Royal Natal National Park. First discovered in July of 1964 by Elise Esterhuizen one of SA's leading Botanists at the time. Been Winter though the plant was not in flower. It was not until 1978 that a Dr John Rourke was able to visit the spot, and list them as a new species. They grow on a steep, South-West facing slope, high in the clouds. Nubigena means "Born of the clouds", and this spot barely 20m by 10m, is the only place in the world where they grow. None have been discovered anywhere else in the Drakensberg. So steep is the slope on which they grow that it is almost impossible to reach them without a rope. There are probably not more than 50 plants altogether.... Right Staying in the Drakensberg... I am discovering a few things there... In the history of Drakensberg rescues something was used for the first time in the rescue of 15 students stranded on the Amphitheater from 29th April to the 4th June 1959, what was it?

It is time for a clue I guess... flower

How many copy and paste logs are there in South Africa... LoL

Hee hee... it is not been specific enough yet... need a name folks...

Nope, all on the right track, but need to be a little more specific.

Nope nope.... need to think a bit more.

Nope.....

Haa haa Bouts777 funny but still not right.

LoL.... carry on.

Ah ha.... someone on the right track...
