The geocaching story
After years of searching for clues about their father’s enigmatic past, the descendants of Herbert Vigne had finally stumbled upon a handwritten note revealing the existence of a hidden treasure somewhere in Greyton in the Western Cape.
Not knowing the area at all, they decided to board a small, agile aircraft, soaring over the breathtaking scenery of Greyton. Being overwhelmed by the sheer view over this quant little village, its stunning manicured winding trails, inviting farm roads, rivers and adjourning magnificent Nature Reserve, Emily clutched their father’s old journal, her heart racing at the thought of what lay ahead.
Back down, they knew, time was of the essence, and they felt the weight of expectation on their shoulders. Each sibling had their own reasons for pursuing this adventure, but all shared a deep desire to connect with their father’s spirit.
As they arrived in Greyton, the fresh scent of wildflowers and the sound of rustling leaves surrounded them. Tom, an avid trail runner, suggested they take the MTB trails leading through the mountains. “Let’s go!” he urged. The thrill of the chase surged through them as he ran towards the riverbanks, and up and down the hills, whilst Emily and Mike followed him on their bicycles, navigating the winding trails with ease.
The thrill of the chase electrified them whilst the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains kept their adrenaline pumping. Not stopping to eagerly uncover clue after clue, their legs were burning but their spirits high as they knew that sharing this adventure would not only honour their father’s legacy but also deepen their connection forever.
