Hi Arthur

Thanks for your guidance as well. I'm sure it might have been a shambles were it not for your years of experience. It was a pleasure being able to help out some fellow cachers. It would be great to meet some of you "down South" if ever venturing this way. We have plenty of great caches around the country and, an added bonus for those from the Blighty, you get 23 Madibas for each King Charles! And ......... no expensive visas required like WE have to contend with. So, all in all, a super cheap holiday!

Cheers

I have 324 geocache finds in South Africa and have also attended two Mega events there so we probably have already met up lol :joyous: I also used to carry UK geocoin stock down to Silvia as I flew back and forth every few weeks.

Hi Chris

We probably have met! I have only attended 2 Megas in SA - Durban and Johannesburg. I was living overseas for the other one in Pretoria. I know Silvia well - lovely caching family!

Maybe we can meet up again one day.

Cheers

Peter
