    We are a competitive team, Gerhard - it's my nature hehe, but I think Andre is much more relaxed. :-)

    Caching for me, must always be fun, fun, fun!!

     

    Ultimately, whoever finds the cache first, will deserve it - and I'm just enjoying working you guys up. hehehe

     

    Yes, please! It's time for the event to be listed! :-)

    If team Ginger can climb that high in the Drakensberg with a smile on their faces then we can expect some real action.

    Gerhard, once you get up there, you cannot deny the smile - it is one of the most incredible hikes I've ever done!!

    Maybe the penalty is too lenient.

    Hey, be nice! :-) hehehe

     

    Well, I do admit that it is a wow accomplishment to have all 18 clues in hand! Congratulations!

    Ginger couldn't travel as far and wide, but gave it a good try. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the feedback, Gerhardoos - and for confirming it RedGlobe.

    What you are saying is as I thought - so it was just to clear it up to cachers who may not know of the decision that was made.

     

    :-) I will definately then not be in for the FTF race, but with half of the clues in hand by Easter, I should be able to trade a few.... ;-)

    TRADE I am willing to trade clues. There is no way I will be able in any series to travel to all parts of the country withing one year.

    Are there any teams in the other provinces who will do a trade in clues? - Glider Slider

     

    I am willing to consider such a solution... problem is that as far as I remember, the Tonteldoos owners discussed this at some stage and I think it was decided that this would not be allowed... It was said that only cachers who actually signed all 18 logbooks will be allowed to go for the final chase on event day.

     

    How about some feedback here, will cachers who did not physically visit all the cache sites, but collaborated with others (let's say by means of fair exchange of clues) be able to seek the final cache? Will they be allowed the find log or even a FTF?

     

    This could give some more cachers the opportunity to take part in the 'race for Tonteldoos Gold'.

    Yet, on the other hand - others have worked hard to get all 18 clues themselves...

    I currently have 6 clues and am planning to get another 3 before the Easter weekend. That's only half way.

     

    What is the general feeling? Or rather, to not open a whole debate again... what is the standing decision on this?

    No-go areas, land use agreements, permissions, etc.

    Well done Andy!!! I'm so glad that you were able to make so much good progress on this matter.

     

    It is like you said - I don't go to KNP for caching either, but hey, it sure does enhance the enjoyment of the trip. :laughing:

     

    I was very worried that all caches in parks in SA were going to be banned - personally - these caches are the ones I prefer finding - since it takes me out into nature.

     

    At some stage I was wondering about my cache that is in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. When wanting to place one, I didn't know where to ask permission for that one - and it is the only cache in a 250km+ radius around it.

    It is in a very good and 'legal' hiding spot (in regards with park rules). It is not in a fenced off area though - so cachers have to attempt it with extreme caution.

     

    Maybe once all of the issues and concerns have been dealt with - we can get into contact with someone there too that can be made aware of its presence? I'd feel more comfortable with that too. :(

     

    Thanks again Andy, for being our voice. :P

    Anyone interested in climbing?

    Hey hey hey

     

    Now, this sounds like a party!!!! :)

     

    Best (or worst, if you want :) hehe) we've done was the Drakensberg Aphitheatre Hike last year. No gear needed for that one, though the climb and the experience was amazing!!!

     

    I'd love to get involved here - please keep us in loop of what's happening!!! :laughing:

    I do not know when we will move in your area to rescue Gingers TB

     

    Oh dear!! I'd hate for it to not get moved again soon.... and even worse - be muggled!! :)

     

    BTW: Thanks Gerhard for helping it move so well!!! ...and for the effort you put in to get it from the last cache location - eish!!! Did you guys see the shoes??? Ready to go to church I tell you! :D:unsure:

     

    make sure that it is somewhere that he cannot get to with his 4x4 Corsa

     

    What do you mean? Corsas go EVERYWHERE!! :P:lol:

    ...and my TB is in the race as well (I'm definately out of it).

    So if my TB visited all the caches by then - can I also compete? - giving the TB legs... :) :) :rolleyes:

     

    TB 'Tonteldoos Dolos' (TB18R4Z) visited 6 TD caches so far. Whoop whoop!!

    To me this is one of the best logs that I have read with reference to the series. This man must be a bilingual writer. Well written and it does give you a nice feeling.

     

    Well done Cape Guy!!!

    I am not going have all 18 TD caches found by that time next year - as is, can I not cache at all at the moment (GPS problems... :-( ) but well, at least my TB is visiting. LOL

     

    I will be attending the event in Nelspruit... so I will definately make it my mission to get that TD cache clue! :-)

    I see South Africa has reached its "3000 active cache listings" mark.... (read the forum thread).

     

    So I guess it is in order to congratulate all the cachers in SA that contributed to this milestone! :rolleyes:
