The KZN Mega is almost upon us.

Attending a MEGA event is one of those very rare geocaching events that does not come along often.Be sure to go and register on www.megakzn.co.za as soon as possible. Book yourself at least 1 of 4 South African designed coins. A must have for any African geocacher.

The KZN Mega also offers a rare chance to get 10 ... yes 10, icons on a single day. Some more info on the KZN Facebook page.

One of the cache types will be a 'Lab Cache' and only available for the duration of the MEGA.

Much fun was had chasing some new caches which were published that morning. Hopefully there will be more events in the future, in this great, caching town!
