Toady's Way Points :
Here are the way points for the 2010 Geo Oyster.
Have fun and enjoy the adventure!
Day 5 - Fri 9th July :
Well, the week had to come to an end. Today is tight, cross
cultural and requires a bit of Sudoku skills. We have some teams that
are definately taking this seriously, though Xterra seemed to get in the
way of todays proceedings with one team calling us at about 20h00 for
help with WP 9 - they did not have torches and wanted to know if something
would eat them in the dark.
- WP # 10 : S34 00 33.2 E23 01 05.1 - my best advice is 'plan
your approach well'. You are looking for a 3 digit code. I imagine some
teams will be getting wet. Two prizes again.
- WP # 11 : S34 02 07.6 E23 06 34.4 - This is the one, a Sudoku.
I played many to get this finishing sequence. Hope you enjoy the locals.
Best is if you turn your car around before settling down to solve this
one. Two prizes again. Send team pics at WP to 082 2135931.
- WP # 12 : Well that is for you to work out. This is a rare
gem in Knysna and I will enjoy waiting around for you all. Remember
the typo with the E and S on the matrix
Day 4 - Thur 8th July :
Today takes you into some magnificent forest, home to the
only free roaming elephants in South Africa and to some incredible leopards.
- WP # 8 : S33 57 46.3 E23 09 18.8 - hidden between the buttress
roots of a tall Ironwood, you are looking for a 3 digit code. If the
Bushpigs have not stolen it, there is a six pack of Energy 4 U from
Pick n Pay. First prize - a Nandos voucher, second prize, a R50.00 Pick
n Pay voucher. When you are here spend a moment in silence and feel
the forest surrounding you.
- WP # 9 : S33 56 41.8 E23 04 01.6 - placed near an old homestead
site, there is a cluster of old Yellowwoods and some lemon trees, a
legacy of settlers from the 1900's. You are looking for a 3 digit code
and once again, if the bushpigs have not got there first, there is a
six pack of Energy 4 U from Pick n Pay. First prize, Nandos hamper,
second prize, R50.00 Pick n Pay voucher. When setting this WP up, I
spent 10 minutes leaning against a tree and heard an animal walking
towards me. Then at the last moment as it was about to come out of the
forest, my phone ran. So I never got to see it. To make a day of it,
both WP's have wonderful picnic sites close by. relax and enjoy. To
claim prizes for both WP's, text photo to 0822135931
Notices - please note that I had a typo error on the code matrix
- the E and S of WP # 12 must be swapped over - the rest of the squares
stay as they are, just the letters get changed. I have also pasted some
images that everyone has sent in on a team and results page - click
here to access so you can see you are exploring with.
Day 3 - Wed 7th July :
Today is a relaxed day with some wonderful scenery, a glimpse
at the inspiration of one of South Africa's most famous authors and the
scene of one of the first gold rushes in the world.
- WP # 6 : S33 53 01.1 E23 00 05.1 - This is the site of a maze
of tunnels. Take time to look in a few of them. At this WP there is
a bright green sign - what is the name on it? First team to reach this

a voucher for two for the Moonlight Meander valued at R120.00. Send

Day 2 - Tue 6th July :
Today you will be heading east and having a bicycle can
be a help - WP #5 is about 1.7km from the parking spot. It is also a great
place to go cycling. If you have a Wild card, take it along. If you have
time, take a picnic bag alog and enjoy brunch. There is a Pick n Pay voucher,
a Nandos Voucher, a wine hamper and a Nandos hamper up for grabs today.

walk. Take your time and enjoy. Clue for this location : what are the
two numbers on the pegs at this WP? Take a pic of your team between
the two signs. First team to this WP gets a wine hamper. Second team
gets a Nandos Voucher.

Day 1 - Mon 5th July :
Today you will need a notebook and pen to record three codes,
one from each WP. You can collect a Code Matrix from the Sedgefield Tourism
after 09h00 and Knysna Tourism after 10h00. It is best that you set you
GPS to the following format : hddd°mm'ss.s"
- WP #1 : S34 02 08.2 E22 45 56.9 - for this way point you will
need to check out the tide table to plan your approach. Today is a bird
watching day. Look out for the Giant Kingfisher feeding from the rock
pools on the way. You are looking for a three digit code hidden in a
pile of rocks. Tom Thumb lying on his back would see this easily..
- WP # 2 : S33 59 25.8 E22 44 16.3 - not a well known location.
Another three digit code, also best seen looking at the sky. Best to
stick to the path, it is just about choosing the correct approach. First
team to reach this way point gets a Nandos Hamper and voucher. MMS a
team photo to 082 213 5931
