Visiting South Africa

[+gaugeman]

We will be visiting relatives in Jo’burg next month and this is the first time in South Africa since taking up geocaching. Within the limited time that I will no doubt be allowed I would like to get a few South African caches. Has anyone got any suggestions for caches near the sort of places that we might like to visit as tourists with our family. We will be staying in the North Riding area and possibly visiting the vicinity of Hartbeesport dam. Many Thanks - Gaugeman

Gaugeman,

 

There are lots of caches up there, some of which are not so nice to do. refer to Larks post about drive-by caches fro more scandalous issues...

 

Why not try for an event cache? Great way to weed out the not so fun caches via word of mouth to the locals. Just build a PQ and load them all on your GPS, than ignore X,Y & Z cache while in the area.

 

Anyways, caching is Cape Town is more exciting so... :lol:

Mmmm North Riding, my Sundowner Cache is near there. I would like to have a foreign visitor sign one of the cards.

 

On the subject of Harties I wanted to leave a micro on the wall but then I thought about it. There must have been a few there already.

Hey gaugeman - would love top meet up with you and show you around a bit. Some good caching in the north Ridign arewa with a host of caches around there to choose from.

 

Do a serach arounf the North Gate cache (or wazat's Sundowner cache) to see what is close by. Both of those are in North Riding.

 

If yopu'd like, PM me and we can chat about dates etc.

Thanks, do a search on caches around Sundowner and you will find a few from there. Magnanimous Revisited, Firstcache, Ferndale Spruit and Ag Pleez Daddy are a few nice caches or spots I found in the area.

Look forward to meeting you!

After your first post - I thought you had something against Wazat's Sundowner cache

 

Glad you're heading this way.

See you soon
