+vespax Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi Eastern Capers! I am coming over your way at the end of the month and thought an event cache would be nice to get the gang together. What do you think? I am arriving on the 19th October and returning to CT on the 28th October. Geoff suggested the 21st for a date, any preferences? A possible venue might be that Harvest cafe/restuarant in Walmer, otherwise we can plan somehting else. Mashi Golf anyone!? Lets get it together! Quote Link to comment
Geoff Ogden Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 21st sounds great. GC106F1 sounds like a nice outing down the coast? Quote Link to comment
+vespax Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Ah, yes. the cache got away from me. I shall return some day. Perhaps someplace closer to PE, unless everyone lives out near Jeffrey's Bay area. Quote Link to comment
Geoff Ogden Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Believe they do a pretty good breakfast out there. Quote Link to comment
+LeonW Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Do I hear talk of a feast, I better contact Kalula for a reservation. Quote Link to comment

+vespax Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Might be. Swamped with work today, but will try to create event cache tomorrow and anounce it to those I know in the area. Perdix? Where's he at? Quote Link to comment

Where's he at? No idea. Have not met cachers as yet and by the way it's going you're going to be the first. Missed a couple of fellow cachers at Addo. Quote Link to comment
+vespax Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 no problems. As I understand it, EC events are smaller than those in WC & GP. Quote Link to comment
+DamhuisClan Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 We coming down to P.E. this Decmeber. Any cachers down there that would like to meet up? And would like someone to show me to the beacon cache down there. Will be our 3rd attempt to find that one. Also looking forward to the Van Staden Flower cache. Traces of the fire that swept through there should be gone by then. Any other great caches down there? Quote Link to comment

+colinaly Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 We will be in PE around 3 to 5 Jan 2008. It would be great to meet the EC cachers. We will be at Bushman's River from 16 Dec to 2 Jan so could easily meet in Addo for an event too. Do those dates suit anyone else for an event? Quote Link to comment

It'll be great to meet up if possible. Quote Link to comment
+vespax Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'll be in PE over Christmas as well! Maybe a bigger event then would be better. Want to go to Addo again (for the 4th time!). It's one of my favorite parks in SA. Quote Link to comment

It's one of my favorite parks in SA. How about Addo on 2 January 2008 then, before Geoff goes to Baviaanskloof. It would have been great to meet up in Baviaanskloof Geoff, we have been then several times before and it is one of our favourite places. We will unfortunately have our caravan with us this time, so would not like to go further than Kondomo with it. Roll on HOLIDAYS !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

Cache Date placed Domkrag dam 10/02/2006 Zuurkop 10/02/2006 PPC 24/09/2007 Blue Bishop 09/02/2006 Spekboom 22/08/2007 Dumbo drop 07/04/2006 Saw you're logs at blue bishop and domkrag. But not at Zuurkop when I got there. Thought you must have spotted some good game along the way and was running a little late so I left a message for you at Zuurkop cache. Thought you where going to be right behind me. We managed to find 2 Male lions near spekboom on the Monday. And as usual many elephants at hapoor.

Geoff Ogden Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi iNokia Missed the PPC, Spekboom and Zuurkop - didn't know they were there. Saw the elephants of course and a real bummer about the lions which we missed. We left on 23rd which is probably why we missed you. Ah well - next time. Quote Link to comment
+colinaly Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I tried to book a camp site in the Addo park for 2 and 3 Jan 2008, but they are fully booked. Are there any other camping places near by? We have booked to stay in Kondomo on 5 and 6 Jan 2008, so are looking forward to making a day trip of caching in the kloof. Quote Link to comment

I am pretty sure all the coastal sites will be booked. I'll check around and if I see something I'll post here. Caravan or tent? Love to hook up with you guys at Komdomo. Quote Link to comment

+Tricky Vicky & Mickey Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 We stayed at Homestead recently and although the place was really busy (it was a long weekend), it really was super - grassed stands with electrical points, braai facilities, good ablutions with plenty of hot water and beautiful gardens too. AND besides all that, it was only R80 a night for both of us! Quote Link to comment

That actually didn't happen and Vespax and I ended up doing a couple of caches while he was here. Think there's a possibility for Baviaans in the Dec/Jan holidays. Quote Link to comment

+vespax Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Let's do this than. Maybe an hour or two to say hi and wish happy holidays. Sugestions on locations? I will be in Walmer, which is sort of center PE, but can probably get out somewhere else if needs be. Happy to host the event. Can even just grab something at a cafe. Quote Link to comment
