Geocache Description:

Placed inside the reserve, nearby the thatched entrance. Not sure what the opening times are, nobody was at the gate late on Sunday afternoon but sure some stealth will be required.

Hint or Spoiler? You decide: "Magnesia, deriving from the tribe name Magnetes, is the name of the southeastern area of Thessaly in central Greece."

The cache is hidden at the Kloofendal Nature Reserve in Roodepoort, Gauteng

I Found the following at : (visit link)

Kloofendal is a small nature reserve situated on the West Rand, within easy reach of the centre of Johannesburg. It consists of pristine highveld vegetation with craggy quartzite outcrops. The reserve provides an ideal destination for an afternoon stroll.

The walks can be self guided or one can join one of the excellent trails lead by a qualified field guide. It is advisable to check that the reserve is open before planning a visit as during the winter months it can be closed due to fire hazard.

There is a bird hide at the small dam on the reserve and a while spent here can be well worth while. The wildlife on the reserve is restricted to smaller creatures but it is surprisingly varied. Many tree species have their home on the reserve.
The reserve also is home to the geological site of Confidence Reef. This enclosed area can only be visited by special arrangement. Contact the reserve for more information.

Take a picnic and enjoy the day out. Explore the paths that crisscross the reserve. Visit the bird hide and spy on our feathered friends.

This is a small cache containing small tradeables, log sheet and pencil. Please use stealth and take care when retrieving and replacing.

Enjoy the cache
