    Where am I?

    in South Africa

    Posted

    I think the current "Where am I" is a difficult one, as the cache is a bit out of the way and only has a few finds.

    So I am adding an additional pic.

     

    Where am I - 2 pics - Same cache.

The Huskies

    and, apart from iPajero, all from the Western Cape.

     

    I am just one shy of the 81 .... Hopefully soon.

    OK let's leave the Southern Cape...

     

     

    I think that is the view over Valley of 100 hills at Monteseel. Lots of caches, but let's say Valley of 1000 Hills Earthcache?

    Need some advice on Cape Town caches

    in South Africa

    Posted

    We will be in Cape Town for the week from the 27th April to the 5th May, and are looking for some advice on where to focus the time we will have for caching.

     

    We plan on visiting the top of Table Mountain and spending some time at Kirstenbosch already, so will just plan around those depending on the weather.

     

    The one cache we really want to try find is Sentinel View, and the nearby Elephant Proctology cache looks like fun too. The trail up from Silvermine looks quite nice, and if we can solve a few more of the impossible puzzles by then would probably be worth doing that as a day there. The alternative seems to be to climb up from Chapman's Peak towards those caches, but the climb appears much steeper although a shorter distance then. Any advice on the caches in this area and how tough the trails are would be greatly appreciated, given that we will be doing it all as a family, so my 10 year old daughter and 12 year old son will be with us.

     

    Are there any other areas that are really worth visiting?

     

    thanks

    Having just returned from a trip to the Cape ....

     

    And considering that the geocachers in that neck of the woods have a insatiable penchant for placing caches on top of mountains and in inacessible caves, and also on narrow ledges with half a world of air between you and the ground. ..... then another one just 161m away that requires a 3 km hike to get to. :(

     

    But seriously ...

     

    Silvermine is a great area and there is at least a morning's worth of good caching to be done (if not a full day). The walk from the Silvermine parking area to Sentinel View is about 2.5km straight line and is so worth it. For the exercise, the views and of course SA's oldest cache.

     

    Be warned. Fynbos is a total misnomer and it is anything but "fyn". I still have scratches on my legs. Rofbos is a better name. :)

     

    The section of road from Fish Hoek to Cape Point is rich in caches, most of them easy-ish - helps with some numbers.

     

    Just my 2c.
