Exploring ruins with Chaos Boy

I've still be on leave this past week and on Thursday morning grabbed Chaos Boy and went looking for a new cache situated on the edge of Lorraine. The container is located inside the ruins of a building which means one has to always be on the lookout for any slithering guardians around. Finding a nice "regular" … Continue reading Exploring ruins with Chaos Boy →

Crawling after caches

I like going out Geocaching on my own as much as I like to do it with the family. Both have their advantages. On my own I have "me" time but I really like to share the experience with the family as well. One of the advantages of having the KidZ with on a Geocaching … Continue reading Crawling after caches →

Caching the Trig Beacon Series

I wonder how many locals know what a trig beacon is or have ever spot the few scattered around town. Chris and Denise of ChrisDen has put together a nice little Geocaching series that takes one along the Wildside, through Summerstrand and to the back of the airport, discovering six different beacons before looking for the #7 … Continue reading Caching the Trig Beacon Series →

Finding the Geocache on Bird Rock

At the beginning of the year I took a swim out to Bird Rock on the beachfront with fellow Geocachers Erenei and Seekoei NMB with the idea of possibly placing a Geocache on the rock. Cachers like challenges and this would be a great challenge. Since placing it a couple of cachers have found it … Continue reading Finding the Geocache on Bird Rock →

Caching on the Grysbok Trail with Drama Princess

Last Sunday I hit the Grysbok Trail in the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Nature Reserve with Drama Princess for a bit of an early morning Geocaching outing. We signed in at 6:50am and set off down the trail at a brisk pace. The Grysbok Trail really is a gem. One that I bet very few … Continue reading Caching on the Grysbok Trail with Drama Princess →

Coral Tree hides are tricky

We all know what a Coral Tree looks like. Perhaps not off the top of your head when you hear the name, but you'll definitively know what I'm talking about if I call it a Lucky Bean Tree. Coral Trees are very distinctive in that they loose their leaves in autumn and have brilliant orange flowers before … Continue reading Coral Tree hides are tricky →

Looking for Feathered Friend Lucy

Today is the second Geocaching Saturday post and for the second time it features a cache placed by GeorgeC12. George have been posting some great caches lately and really deserves every favourite point he gets awarded. In this cache I went in search of Feathered Friend Lucy. Lucy is a parrot and she clearly didn't have her … Continue reading Looking for Feathered Friend Lucy →

Finding Gollum’s Precious

I got a request this week via e-mail to share some more of my Geocaching adventures on my blogs. I'm so fanatical about the caching that I could probably do a whole blog about it, but I decided not to go totally overboard with it. Instead I'll share a Geocaching picture once a week. I'll … Continue reading Finding Gollum’s Precious →

Caching in a storm water pipe

Geocaching takes one to weird and wonderful places. In this case weird. George and Jill of George c12 went after a cache located within a storm water pipe in the western suburbs somewhere. I don't quite want to give it away to muggles but the pipe goes quite far under the intersection and you have … Continue reading Caching in a storm water pipe →

Arc of the 30th Meridian

I took the KidZ on a Geocaching outing over the weekend to find a cache called Arc of the 30th Meridian. It's located close to a trig beacon in the Humble Ways private nature reserve on top of Lovemore Heights and is one of the oldest caches in Port Elizabeth. In the picture Chaos Boy is … Continue reading Arc of the 30th Meridian →
