Perdekop, in die
Suikerbosrand-natuurreservaat, se hoogte van 1913m maak dit die
hoogste punt in Gauteng. Die naaste hoër piek lê 236km hiervandaan,
in die Marakele Nasionale Park in Limpopo.
Die enigste manier om by
hierdie cache te kom is as besoeker (of dagbesoeker) aan die
natuurreservaat. Aangesien daar 'n toegangsfooi betaal moet word,
maak dit sin om ook 'n draai te maak by die ander (tans) sewe
caches in die reservaat. Hierdie cache is op die sirkelvormige
toeristepad, wat ongelukkig slegs in een rigting (kloksgewys)
gedoen mag word. Beplan dus vir genoeg tyd. (Dit het my ongeveer 2
ure geneem, maar ek het dikwels gestop vir wild en foto's.)
Daar draai 'n 2-spoorpaadjie
van die toeristepad af by S 26° 30.696' E028° 15.431'. Hoewel ek
met my gewone (lae) motor tot 40m van die cache gery het sal ek dit
nie aanbeveel as dit onlangs gereën het nie.
At a height of 1913m Perdekop, in
the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, is the highest point in Gauteng.
The nearest higher peak is 236km from here in the Marakele National
Park in Limpopo.
The only way to get to the cache
is as visitor (or day visitor) to the nature reserve. As you have
to pay an entrance fee, it makes sense to combine this with a visit
to the other (currently seven) caches in the reserve. This cache is
on the circular tourist route which may unfortunately only be
travelled in a clockwise direction. Plan for enough time - it took
me about 2 hours, but I stopped frequently for game and photos.
Turn off on the track at S 26°
30.696' E028° 15.431'. Although I could drive to about 40m from the
cache with my ordinary (low) car, I would advise against it if it
has rained recently!
