+tvdbon Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi All, A friend of mine (who recently started geocaching) has decided to do a project for school about geocaching. I'm trying to get as much information as possible about the history of Geocaching in South Africa. I've managed to get the history about Geocaching in general from the web, but would like to get more information about Geocaching history in SA. So far I've managed to get a few basic information pieces such as the oldest (first) cache in SA: Sentinal View. Anybody willing to share some more information or stories etc that can be used in the school project? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment
+mr panda Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 This will be an interesting topic to watch. Minor point, Sentinel View is the oldest *active* cache in SA. The oldest cache is GCZA01 http://coord.info/GC163 FTF (and only to find) was Jors. As a relative newcomer to the game, I will let others better suited fill you in on some of the details. There are lots of resources online, animations of caches appearing over time - check out the 10 year event's logs for some stories. http://coord.info/GC2JKAX - also the statistics thread is a good place to look.

+tomtwogates Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Discombob had something of early caching in SA I think - maybe try here lint to History Quote Link to comment
+mr panda Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks tom! That is a fantastic story! Quote Link to comment
+DamhuisClan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have a video at home where Discombob was interviewed on some TV show Top Billing I think it was. If I can find it, I can upload it somewhere. Gives a little bit of insight into the (early days) of caching in Cape Town. Quote Link to comment
