Geocaching in Port Elizabeth insert on Pasella

https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/D1wqOSAWUvQ&source=udsYou've all seen me refer to my Geocaching adventures which take me to places I know well but also often brings me to interesting spots I've never been to before.  Late last year the SABC 2 Afrikaans magazine show Pasella shot a insert in Port Elizabeth about Geocaching featuring yours truly. *big smile*  It was broadcasted in February and uploaded onto YouTube a week or so ago.  The 6 minute long insert is in Afrikaans but it does have English subtitles…

Bird Rock on the PE beachfront

Geocaching is fun with most caches hidden somewhere fairly easily eccessible.  For a while now I've been eyeing Bird Rock on the beachfront thinking it could be a great site for an "extreme" terrain 5 cache and the other day I took a swim out there with fellow cachers Seekoei and erenei to place one with only three cachers swimming out there since to log it.  Bird Rock is situated between Hobie Beach and Pollok Beach and is always surrounded…

A CITO event for International Geocaching Day

Last Saturday (17 August 2013) I joined a number of fellow geocachers in celebrating International Geocaching Day with a CITO event in the Baakens Valley at the back of Beverley Grove.  CITO stands for "Cache In Trash Out" and is a clean-up organised by geocachers at a spot where a cache is hidden that is in need of a spring clean.  This specific location is home to a cache called Ancient Roman Tablets and for some reason has a huge litter problem.  Cachers…
