Guess where?

Bushmen's Cave. Thaba Ngwangwane on left, Andre's Knob in the centre. Those stacked slabs are characteristic too.

Take nothing but litter, leave nothing but a cleaner Drakensberg.

That would have been my second guess. Ok Intrepid, lets see a photo of Bollard Pass :)

Btw, while we are in Bushman's Nek area, Thaba Ngwangwane is listed on the khulu list as a hike that needs ropes, but on google earth it looks like it can be done without ropes, does anyone know about this?

There you go...



Will have to scratch around in my albums for something which keep you guys guessing for a while. :evil:

Thaba Ngwangwane might be scramble-able from the Ngwangwane Pass side. Haven't spotted a very obvious route to date, even though I've been looking. From the Isicatula Pass side its even worse.

Lol, nice pic, I looked at it and thought about how familiar that looks! I think exams are slowing my mind...

@ Ghaznavid & Intrepid, Thaba Ngwangwe can indeed be scrambled from the Ngwangwane Pass side. Ngwangwe cave is easy to reach from Ngwangwane Pass (or Thomathu Pass) up grass slopes, and there are then two rock bands to scramble to the summit. From the cave you traverse left (west) along the grass band about 200 m, then there is a tricky scramble up the lower rock band. There are two places close together where this is possible. Once up the lower rock band you traverse east on the grass band and there are several places to scramble up the second rock band, the best I've found is almost above the cave. The summit cairn is north east of the cave.

I am going to say that you are on the north facing slope of Mzimude, Southern Berg.

Sorry ST, I was going along with ghaz's joke about Bollard Pass (which is what that pic is). I'm going to pass the buck and let the blame fall on him :P

OK, I have several serious candidates, here is one of them:
