sorry - not

Some of the caches have been re-enabled following communication with Reserve Managememnt. PLEASE BE VERY AWARE of the local rules and respect this note below: PLEASE NOTE: This cache is being monitored by the Officer in Charge of Krantzkloof Nature Reserve, Honarary Officers and Reviewer Community of Geocaching HQ. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND THIS CACHE UNTIL YOU HAVE ENSURED YOU COMPLY AND UNDERSTAND THE KRANTZKLOOF RESRVE (KKR) RULES BELOW: NO PETS are allowed in picnic areas or in the Reserve Opening times: 06h00 to 18h00 - 365 days per year Entry fee: R20 per person (R10 under 12) Stay on the trails Do not climb over any fences - use official entrances ONLY Removal and damaging or injuring of any plant or animal can only be done with a permit Light fires in designated areas only Camping is not allowed No littering of any kind No motorcycles No mountain biking Entry during daylight hours only No loud music • Never hike alone. • Stay on the trails. • Carry an adequate supply of water, particularly if you are hiking in the lower gorges in the heat of the day. • Venture into the lower gorges in larger groups. • Don’t swim in the rivers. Bilharzia may be present. • Abide by opening and closing times. Persons whose vehicles are found in parking areas after dark are assumed lost and a search party is then organised. This is no fun, especially if the lost party is not really lost. If you are lost, do not try and find your way out in the dark. This may lead to serious injury. Stay where you are and wait for rescuers or daylight. The Reviewers and Cache Owners reserve the right to delete any logs that show a contravention of these rules – as the continued use of KKR by geocachers depends on our being respectful and positive contributors to the KKR and sustainability in the Province – remember the geocaching creed of: Geocachers' Creed The Geocachers' Creed is designed to help orient new players to the ethos of the geocaching community and to guide experienced players in questionable situations, so that everyone can enjoy geocaching.

Thanks Danie - some Christmas holiday wish lists And congrats on your 4000th find!

Perhaps this is an important note for us cachers and when we invite new cahcers. 1) We need to be inclusive at events etc. = I guess it's easy to only speak to the people we know and use language like FTF, muggle, and DNF together without the newbies knowing what's going on. 2) Perhaps we need to get these guys and take a few hours to show them the ropes and drive to a few caches you've done in the past and show them some of the fun ones in the area? 3) We need to follow up with those colleagues, friends & family that said they went caching this weekend - - help them with TB's, how to log a cache etc. Maybe we need some more "Bring a Newbie" or Caching 1010 events again - those were popular a few years back.Perhaps 1 every six months?

Lots of cachers - but they are not finding lots of caches!

I see SPS keeps adding caches (new ones now) - plus a few along the trail not called SPS (like PieterM's Premium only caches)

Thanks Danie

Very good question!

Yep - Nigeria a little far from SA - and not much caching around. Have you thought of an Earthcache in downtown Lagos - do your research - I'm sure there are a few waiting around sand bars, lagoons or other interesting features. Leave something for the next guys too.

Danie - could you look at the SPS (Swartland Power series) in the Cape too please? Thanks

interesting - but seems to be a trend here in KZN where there dont seem to be many new caching names that are staying the distance - but there still seems to be a bit of a dropoff/attrition as normal.

A bit of a sad stat - but Madsons will fall out of the top 50 cachers of all time in South Africa in the next week or so SA Cacher stats Quite a record so long after his untimely death....

Must be one of the first times for a long while that iPajero did not feature - helps to have them visiting the USA

Welcome back Danie

Also check out the Earthcache banner that was developed a few years back - similar ownerships

Great idea - keep it up. Could you send one south to Africa for AndrewGrantZA? His daughter is in love with caching - and a special young girl.

A few more: Eastern Cape Grootrivierpoort Western Cape Shingle Beach

We can't use the word MEGA yet - as it contravenes the Groundspeak rule -so all naming now is just Cape Town 2016. If 9and when) we are awarded the Mega status, then naming can change again.

See the stats thread. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=216914&view=findpost&p=5521405 Also as at 15 July 2015

Danie when you get a gap - could you look at the Power Trail / Series again - and I can update the spreadsheet - also - please add the new Western Cape SPS series - and the Tonteldoos series Thanks

Blast from the past - I managed to get the Tonteldoos cache down in Darling as my 2000th cache find!!!! Glad to tick another one off my list - pity Hanover foxhole (and the final) are no longer available.

Danie - we're getting withdrawal symptoms from no new stats updates..... trust all is ok.

Another in the E Cape - a good few now for the competition Noordhoek Dunes

Awesome stuff TrueGeo - a real trooper
