+Carbon Hunter Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi there Anyone got plans for caching over the Easter weekend? I was thinking of maybe visiting the West Rand area for a morning. Depends on weather and whether I make it out of bed early enough Quote Link to comment
+amaSoekSoek Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) I decided that it will be far more fun if I rather worked this weekend.... Yeah right! Hope all have a great caching weekend! Edited March 20, 2008 by amma-Soek-Soek Quote Link to comment
+anlufu Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 We're going to a dog competition in Port Elizabeth. I see there are some exciting looking new caches there too.. Quote Link to comment
ravenmeistre Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 We're doing a trip up to Ferndale just outside Catchcart from PE. So we'll be getting all the caches along the route. Counted them to be around 38. Zantus already left early this morning to start. Quote Link to comment

+cincol Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Easter Weekend - what's that? Some of us have to work for a living! Today is Prophet Muhamed's Birthday here but we still had to work. And tomorrow is Mother's Day!! What a wonderful world we live in, isn't it? But I'm not worried because during Ramadan I only work 4 hours a day for a whole month and then that is followed up by a week off for Eid ul-Fitr and another week off for Eid ul-Adha 70 days later. So who's complaining! My plans for the 1st Eid is some caching in Spain and for the 2nd Eid in Turkey! Happy Easter and enjoy your long weekend of caching. I'm a little envious! cincol Edited March 20, 2008 by cincol Quote Link to comment
Zantus Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 As Ravenmeistre mentioned, I left PE at 3:30 on Thursday. By the time I had breakfast in Grahamstown, I already found 6 caches. Moved on to Hoggsback and in pouring rain upped the count to 11 for the day. Found another 3 on Friday, 2 on Saturday and 2 yesterday. A great weekend of caching, although I would have liked to have found even more. Quote Link to comment
+Discombob Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm intruiged. Is this thread an invitation for anyone who wants to go caching in the West Rand to come along and share petrol and prevent muggings, or is it merely a place where any Joe Soap can just say where they are going caching?

+Wazat Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I went to caches I had already visited. At least I could watch other cachers look for them while I sat back and enjoyed their search.... I wish I could have done some new finds though. I believe they left one in my area though..... Whooooooo a new cache to find. Quote Link to comment
+cownchicken Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Huskies, Amyson, Goofster and ourselves went to the Richtersveld. Two thousand kilometers for 3 caches!! Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Huskies, Amyson, Goofster and ourselves went to the Richtersveld. Two thousand kilometers for 3 caches!! WOW!! Hope it was a good trip. Brilliant. After all that - I tried my hand at an electrical job - and my three hours budgeted - turned into a marathon 3 days to put in some lights!!!! Now I know why I'm not employed as an electrician So as a consequnce - not a single cache! Quote Link to comment
+warthog Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Left Alberton in the early hours of Monday morning, collected Nish4 and Globalrat and was just it time going through Midrand (enroute to the Cullinan caches) to see a beautiful sunrise. Had a great day with the gang. At one stage collected a discarded speed sign showing 40 and though this must be some sign (other than for speed ) for the day. Well, if we can now just get GR or Nish4 to publish a photo here, you'll see that we eventually at around 18:15 got to cache 40 for the day. Must say here. Congrats to eragonSaphira and the team for placing the Cullinan caches. Must rate as some of the best placed, best named and nicest variety of caches I have come across in a long time. Keep it up!!!

+RedGlobe Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow you guys must enter the next event challenge, first place will be in danger if you guys are in a team together. Just a question, why did you not attempt “stinky little buddy? (With GR in the group and climbing a hill???) Quote Link to comment

Must re-iterate Warthogs comments about the caches placed for the NOLY event. A great bunch of caches in a lovely area, well done. So many possibilities aroung as well, interesting history, and interesting detours. If we hadn't had a leisurely lunch and a few beers, perhaps Stinky's buddy would have been on the cards. It shall be kept for another day, and perhaps I'll turn it into a real stinker for Redglobe Will post the start and finish photo's this evening. Quote Link to comment
+GlobalRat Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Pic at Warthog's request. At the end of a fun days caching. Not about the numbers and all that... the sign was fate, and we had a ball Quote Link to comment

You must succeed in taking the “stinker” all the way up to the summit. 2. You must find a Nano cache on top of a mountain. 3. A DNF on stinky’s buddy will mean you have to take the “stinker” back down. 4. This will be the first time a nano cache have a “stinker” in the inventory. RedGlobe awaits the challenge from GR and Fish Eagle Edited March 25, 2008 by RedGlobe Quote Link to comment
