Geocache Description:


After a pleasant walk on one of the many paths in Fernkloof,  you come to this cache which could just as well have been called Walkerbay View, Die Plaat View, Fernkloof view or even Danger Point View.




This cache was placed on a whim – I had spoken to CapeDoc who was last to find my Danger Point View cache before it went missing, he felt this one should be higher up on the ridge.  I came here with my grandson to replace the missing cache and explored the good doctor’s idea.  By the time we found a suitable spot we were too far for a change of coordinate log and had enough stuff with us to put a new cache in place.


 From here you have a good view of a large part of the Fernkloof Nature Reserve proclaimed in 1956 and which thanks to the local branch of the Botanical Society is kept in good shape. There are about 40km of paths in the reserve and lots of good and varied views to be had.


There are a few ways to get to this cache which is on the extension of the Red Route and can easily be part of a circular route picking up some of the many caches in the reserve.


Please note no fynbos has to be trampled to get to the cache – enjoy the views.
