Geocache Description:

A small lock'n'lock container hidden close to a convenient place to pull over and appreciate the view on the A14 in Lesotho. Can take small tradable items.


I hid this cache upon returning to the Sani Pass from picking up the others in the area. On the way up we hadn't stopped to truly appreciate the beauty of the area we had just driven through. So on the way back I couldn't resist pulling over to do just that.

The cache is situated under a rock set slightly away from a convenient point to pull over on the A14 so you can stop, stretch your legs and appreciate the beautiful valley laid out in front of you and the road you have either just driven or are about to; or perhaps like us, both.

Note: The terrain rating for this cache is based on the fact that getting to the cache will require a 4x4 vehicle and at the time the cache was placed, parts of the A14 made the Sani Pass look like childs play. Once you've driven there the cache itself is easy to reach and would most likely classify as a T2 otherwise. There are currently plans to tar the Sani Pass and should this ever come to fruition I will downgrade the terrain rating on this cache. Lastly, please also be on the lookout for muggles (herdsman). They seemingly appear out of nowhere up here and the cache is not exactly in any easy location to replace.
