GoSA Grapevine February 2016 - Leap Day

Leap Day Souvenirs

It only happens every four years. It gives us 366 calendar days which means we all have one extra day to go geocaching. So of course, Groundspeak are celebrating with a souvenir, actually, make that two souvenirs!

The first souvenir can only be earned on Leap Day itself, February 29, by attending a geocaching event. The other souvenir can be earned all weekend long (February 27-29) by getting outside and finding a geocache.

We have a list of all the events happening on Leap Day on our website here to make it easy for you to find one near you.  No event nearby? Maybe you should be hosting one then.

Mega 2016

It is official.  Cape Town 2016 (GC5YRDE) has been granted Mega-Event status. Congratulations to the Mega 2016 Organising Committee, and thanks to everyone for supporting them.  We will see you all in Cape Town for South Africa's next Mega-Event.

For the latest news and updates about this exciting event, you can:

  • like the SA Geocaching Events Facebook group
  • follow the Twitter Feed @GeocacheEventZA
  • visit the www.capetown2016.co.za website to register to attend the event.  You will also find the full program there, as well as links to nearby accommodation, including some where the Mega Team have been able to negotiate group discounts, and will shortly be able to order your Mega gear online too.

Puzzle Solving

We regularly see fellow geocachers struggling with mystery or puzzle caches.  There are some events coming up in a few of the regions to talk about puzzle solving.  Otherwise, visit our FAQ which has a section dedicated to puzzle solving techniques.

GeoExperiences

The West Coast Geocachers have shared the details of their 2016 New Year event with us, catch up with all the stories shared with us here.
