Don't know much about gold rushes, but do know a little about cache rushes...

Ditto.

To all the Western Cape TB-Racers.. I will be flying up "North" in January.... So any bribes are welcome... Just joking, but you could try and twist my arm a bit... I'll try and drop it off in a "Hot" cache for you... See you all at the Event...

Thanks Gerhard.. It is better to be educated, than to be ignorant.. Your input is very valuable.. Right to Left ? Very interesting... I'll give it a try..

It must be snake season out there... I crossed paths with 2 snakes in 2 days, and both times could feel my heart rate race like crazy... The first one slithered across the path right in front of me (about 5 meters away) near Fluffy Monkey - cache... I remembered something I read on this forum, and made lots of noise, stomping the ground and clapping hands like mad... It worked like a charm, 'cause this snake just made a beeline away from me... The next day I did a hike above Chapman's Peak Drive, and everything was just honky dory on the mountain itself... But I had to trek back to the car along Chappies itself after wards... I didn't see this one until I was right next to it... He was on the curb, just where the shrubs start next to the road... I heard him before I saw him... Somehow I didn't think of stomping the ground with a snake about 1 meter away... I turned, faced it and slowly reversed away... Maybe I was lucky, maybe vaguely remembering something from this forum helped, I don't know... But I think I'm gonna reread all that was said here before, just to be sure...

Ditto.

Hi g.i.s. Royal Ascot is mine.... I remember a log about a horse that ran by without a rider, and the cacher commentating something funny about it... Can't remember anything about pelicans though... Rest assured I haven't deleted a log yet...

Wolraad Woltemade Medal for Bravery....

I've heard of some really whacky polls and research results from the British Isles... So ... my guess ... England..

Beach Bar in Langebaan ???

5 out of 3... Take it away Team Ginger..

One Down, two to go... 1) Achmed, the Dead Terrorist. 2) ?? 3) ??

Thanks Malo Mystery.. Recently Jeff Dunham did 3 shows in South Africa.. He is probably the best known ventriloquist in the World.. He has 7 co-stars... If you can name 3 of them you can ask the next question...

Vilakazi street in Soweto... Picked this up during one of the World Cup shows... The Arch and Madiba used to stay on this street some time back...

Charlize Theron ... ??

Don't know where it is, but something tells me the cache is right at the top..... Wicked...

I just wanted to surround myself with 3 or 4 brave souls... That way nobody would notice my pants shivering... I never expected the outcome we had... And certainly I never expected the fun event that it turned out to be... It is me that has to thank all of you that joined in the festivities in the "Darkness"... Thanx for the FUN everyone, and 3 cheers to Capeccr and Thunder...

..........2000.......... Well done Discombob.

CapeCCR sent me an e-mail too assuring me that the water is not as cold as what I anticipated. So it looks like the Wetsuit idea was a bit of overkill.. So "kortbroek & tekkies" will be the thing for me seems like.. So we have Trev, Henzz & ..........

Spoke to my local surfer dude this morning... I explained our little adventure to him, and here is the deal... Go with the surfing wetsuit, as it is more flexible than the rigid diving suit. Make sure it fits you like a glove before leaving... You don't want a too big/too small wetsuit when you get there.. We should be all right for up to about 3 hours.. Cost... R150.00 per 24 hour period.. If your surfer dude is cool, you too can pick it up Saturday afternoon, and return it Monday morning.. Cheers. Hennie.

Some Surf-and-Diving shops offer Wetsuits for hire. And from what I hear it is not too expensive. I'll be going around some in my area tomorrow to find out about it. Spending a fair amount of time in freezing cold mountain river water in just your shorts could be looking for trouble.. Waterproof Headlamps. An ice cold beer in a cooler box for afterwards. Good Company.

How 'bout we meet up at the Wild Fig... That is fairly central... The cars staying behind would be safe, and everybody will have a short hop home from there when we get back... I have space for 3 in my car... We could maybe meet up at let's say 09h00... Then there is more than enough time to stop at some caches along the way...

From Cape Town it is 175km, going through the Tunnel and then turning South at Worchester. Two hours plus extra time for roadside caches.

O.K. Let's peg this one... Sunday 17 October at 13h00. I'm just hoping the water is not too dadgum cold.

Sunday 17 October? Sunday 24 October? Sunday 31 October?
