Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden in the Greyton Nature Reserve for which there is no charge to enter. The given coordinates are for parking at the entrance to the reserve.

The beautiful village of Greyton nestles between the majestic Riviersonderend mountain range and gently curving hills. This tranquil oasis of green lies between two rivers, with lush colourful country gardens that complement the thatched cottages and oak tree lined lanes.

Greyton was founded by Herbert Vigne in 1854 and named after the then Governor of the Cape, Sir George Grey. Many of the present-day hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and shops were original homesteads and have been restored to retain their rustic charm.

The spectacular surrounding countryside comprises some of the best fynbos in the Western Cape. There are well marked walks ranging from an easy stroll to a two or three day hike. The outdoor adventurer can also enjoy horse-riding, swimming in the river, mountain-biking and 4x4 trails.


The 2 220ha Greyton Nature Reserve is worth exploring with its rugged mountain slopes that rise at its loftiest to   1565m above sea level. It offers walks through magnificent fynbos and wildflowers, especially during springtime when the wildflowers are in bloom.

In order to find the cache you will have solve the following mathematical riddle:

IF:

5+3+2 = 151022

 9+2+4 = 183652

8+6+3 = 482466

5+4+5 = 202541

THEN:

7+2+5 = ABCDEF

 From which you can derive the coordinates of the cache:

S 34 02.A (D+A) (E-B)

E 019 36.D (A+F) A

Park at S34 02.320 E019 36.831 and follow the path to the cache. Have fun.
