Geocaching weekend at Welgelegen Camp

A couple of weeks ago the Port Elizabeth cachers spent the most amazing weekend at Welgelegen Camp on the Cockscomb Road outside Uitenhage. We enjoyed lots of hiking, lots of caching, lots of laughs and lots of celebrations. Welgelegen Camp normally caters for groups so it was the perfect location for the PE cacher's first big weekend event. … Continue reading Geocaching weekend at Welgelegen Camp →

Celebrating 1000 finds

Two weeks ago during the Port Elizabeth geocachers' Welgelegen Camp getaway I had the privilege to log my 1000th find. The cache was located on a farm dam where we relaxed a bit between all the caches we had to do during the weekend. On our arrival at the dam the cache was spotted immediately where it … Continue reading Celebrating 1000 finds →

Caching on the Cockscomb road

Last weekend we attended a Geocaching weekend at Welgelegen Camp on the Cockscomb road outside Uitenhage. Over the weekend we got to do over 50 new caches and events along with walks in the game area and spending time with good friends. Geocaching heaven.

Interesting (alien) Geocaches

Geocaches come in all shapes and sizes but more often than not its a fairly plain container cunningly hidden somewhere interesting. The PE cachers have been stepping it up lately and more and more interesting containers are seeing the light of day, but every now and then something really wows you.

Caching up a tree…again

Geocachers seem to find themselves up trees quite often. Just looking back at the last year I've been a good 8 meters up a huge old Pine Tree, out on a limb of a Coral Tree in near gale force winds and crawling along branches in Wild Fig Trees. Heck, Wild Fig and Coral Trees … Continue reading Caching up a tree…again →

You can go caching on your own, with friends or with family. I actually enjoy every one of these and for different reasons. I find caching on … Continue reading Caching at Lauries Bay →

What’s Drama Princess doing up a ladder?

Have you ever driven down the road and saw a random person on a ladder against a street light pole? Or up a random tree for that matter? It does look suspicions but at the same time it doesn't quite look like they are up to no good or doing anything wrong. You are probably right. … Continue reading What’s Drama Princess doing up a ladder? →

Geocaching in Uitenhage

Port Elizabeth is fortunate to have quite a lot of Geocaches to keep the local cachers, specially newbies, nice and busy. Uitenhage unfortunately hasn't been that fortunate until recently. A year ago there were probably only four caches in the town but thanks to cachers like Franmarie and Snuffeltuffies who live there the town now … Continue reading Geocaching in Uitenhage →

Unique skull cache

While out there in search of Geocaches one can find all kinds of containers. Bison tubes, pill bottles, clip lock lunchboxes, plastic peanut butter bottles, ammo cans, etc, etc, etc. Some Geocachers put in a lot of effort to create really unique and memorable caches. One of these I found in the Baakens Valley close … Continue reading Unique skull cache →
