The Retiefklip.... Take the S796 turnoff from the R74 at S28 31.381 E29 04.614 follow the road and take the road to the right at S28 30.178 E29 05.186 follow this road to the end where the monument is.
During the trek by the boers, Piet Retief and other boers set up a laarger at this spot while on their way to Natal to start a new life there. The giant boulders were used as a sort of outdoor church by the boers at this time. What you need to do is get some clues from the memorial stones erected here. The co-ordinates of the final cache can then be worked out from this. The listed co-ordinates are for the entrance gate where you can park your car.
Find the following clues at the site and solve the problems.
1: He left his laager on A October 1837 with BC men
2: DE November Coenrad and Piet Meyer returned
3: FGth Birthday
4: HI November first JK Wagons
5: Date of birthday painted in green paint LM November 1837
Final co-ordinates are at
S28 30.UVW E29 06.XYZ
Where:
U = A-I
V = B
W = I
X = C+H
Y = K
Z = F+L+M
Please return the cache to the same spot taking caution not to leave it visible. Container is a small (200ml) twist top container with a few small trade items and some log sheets. Make sure that the lid is nice and secure when closing it. Please bring a pen or pencil to sign the sheet. Please note that the cache is not at the main boulders that were used as the church, so no shifting stones and such there please. Also it is not going the be necessary to climb as I originally planned or this might easily have become a 4 star for terrain. And make sure you have a camera with. Have fun.
