P&M's 50 Cache Dash is a series of fifty caches placed along a scenic route south east of Pretoria. The route runs along Rietvlei Nature Reserve for the first stretch, so be sure to do some game spotting as well as cache spotting, and then runs through some more rural and agricultural areas before heading back towards Pretoria again.
We have tried to mix things up along the way so some caches will be easy to find and others will be more difficult, the container sizes and types are not all the same and their hiding spots should hopefully also keep you guessing as you go. We placed this series as our way of saying thank you for all the fun we have had in our first year of geocaching, so we really hope that you enjoy it and have fun too!
This used to be a simple puzzle using the signs that you will find at the listed coordinates. However, the signs changed much more frequently than expected so we were forced to change the puzzle.
There is a safe place to park off the road at the listed coordinates. Once you have calculated the final coordinates, it is a short stroll to the cache from there.
PUZZLE
The final coordinates are:
S 25° 55.ABC and E 28° 24.DEF
Keyword is BASHEWA
Calculate the final coordinates as follows:
A = 2nd letter minus last letter
B = 1st letter minus 2nd letter minus last letter
C = 4th letter plus last letter
D = 4th letter minus last letter
E = 4th letter
F = last letter
