Hi guys
This past weekend I did an overnight explore of the Kwa-Ntabanyama ridge south east of Kamberg, bordering Mkhomazi, to look for Sinclair's Shelter and Rockfall Cave which I have never been too. I have pasted a screenshot of the latest Slingsby map of the area, with the red line showing my mostly off-path trail. I couldn't find any paths or caves near where the map indicates where they should be, and I was wondering if anyone knows of the caves' exact locations and has any pics?
I did find a really nice cave (shown by the yellow dot in the following screenshot), which could be Sinclair's.
Here is a pic of this cave at my yellow dot waypoint. Can anyone confirm if this is indeed Sinclair's Shelter? It is near an old stone walled kraal.
This is a great area to explore if you enjoy complex sandstone topography with small tarns and lots of hidden valleys, although I would 'downgrade' all the paths shown on the map in this area to 'Way-to-go' as there was little evidence of official paths.
Thanks
Richard
