The cache is not hidden at the coordinates provided. You need to complete the Wherigo cartridge called Bezuidenhout Park Adventure Story to get the final coordinates. This cache is the fifth cache we have placed in the Bezuidenhout Park Series.
The Bezuidenhout Park Adventure Story is a fantasy adventure story through the park and is a walk of 2.5 kilometres from start to ground zero that takes about an hour to complete. It is based on the type of children adventure stories where each decision takes you to a different page.
We have tested this on an iPad using v315 of the Wherigo application by GroundSpeak, and on an Oregon 550 using the Garmin Player v5.20. On the iPad the final run worked perfectly. On the Oregon 550, it wouldn't exit properly at the end, but it did give the unlock code and the final coordinates so you have everything you need. We also found that the save file on the Oregon still worked to unlock the cartridge on the Wherigo website.
We have also been with other cachers who have played it on an HTC using the WhereYouGo app who have had no problems, and others who have had problems getting the GPS up and running properly, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with the game cartridge.
Some of the lessons we have learnt running Wherigo cartridges:
* The iPad Wherigo application sometimes gives a memory error, so we suggest you close all the other apps before you play
* If playing on an iPad or iPhone, you need to have the screen in portrait mode, with the home button at the bottom, or the compass will not point in the correct direction
* We found that when playing it on a smartphone, we battled finding the first few zones, and as we got further into the game it was more accurate, so suggest that if you are playing with a smartphone you start running the wherigo app about 10 minutes before you start playing to give the GPS time to settle down
* Running the Wherigo app on any device requires patience, sometimes it looks like it is doing nothing, but you may just need to give it a few seconds to load new zones or tasks. Sometimes it shows the previous item or screen before loading the new one. If you get impatient and continue pressing buttons, you could end up with nowhere to go.
* Make sure your device is fully charged, as you don't want it to go flat on you part way through your game.
If you have any problems playing this one, please let us know.
Once you complete the Wherigo, you will receive the coordinates to the physical cache. You need to find and sign the log for the cache to be able to claim a found it smiley.
