![]() 2020 has been a year like no other! It has put a lot of us under many kinds of pressure and has caused chaos with our schedules, as such we have missed a few newsletters and humbly apologise to the Geocaching Community for this. We have however reshuffled some areas of responsibility amongst the committee members and are hopefully now back on track.

International Geocaching DayThis year’s IGD falls on Saturday 15 August 2020. Under normal circumstances most of us would attend an event to celebrate another year of geocaching. Sadly, this is not possible for us under our current lockdown restrictions.
If you are planning on heading out to cache in celebration of IGD we would encourage you to do this safely and adhering to our current lockdown guidelines. Remember you will earn a virtual souvenir for finding a cache on the 15th. We would love it if you would share some photos with us on the day so that we can all feel part of the community. Please feel free to upload your photos to our Facebook page on 15 August. |

Cache of the Month Winner: MayThe COTM for May 2020 is awarded to RNNP - Mahai Dam GC496BV. This Cache in the Drakensberg region is owned by Sclanders Clan. The views from this cache is absolutely breath taking as this photo confirms. Hopefully, the remaining limits on travel for leisure will be lifted soon so that we can get out to these wonderful cache locations again.
![]() Cache of the Month Winner: JuneThe COTM for June 2020 is awarded to Mystery House GC7CHFY. This gadget cache placed by Frequent Fly3r in Gauteng clearly captures the imagination as is evident from the more than 60% Favourite Point allocation achieved by this cache since its publication in September 2017. Surely a cache to seek out on your geocaching sojourns in Gauteng.
Cache of the Month Winner: JulyDuring July 2020 we called on your more adventurous geocaching exploits for nominations for the COTM. A number of very challenging caches were nominated and in the end the COTM title for July 2020 was awarded to The Hardest Cache on Table Mountain GC2QV6C. This D5/T5 cache placed by Col_Mustard on Table Mountain is a firm favourite with geocachers willing to engage in the technical rock climbing or abseiling required to sign the log. This is a geocache which you do not want to set out to without remembering your pen!!
![]() This month we join the 20 years’ celebration of geocaching by calling on your nominations for your favourite geocache in South Africa that was placed in the first half of the game’s history: please nominate your favourite geocache that was placed before May 2010. All nominations for the August 2020 COTM (favourite cache placed before May 2010) are to be sent to by 25 August 2020!
