Wow guys, kind and encouraging words spoken, thank you.

Certainly a value which has been held in high regard, is that this forum is clean. Thank you to everyone for that. We are are all regular people that think and react differently on issues...but we can go about discussing things in clean and orderly matter. Let's keep this up!

One of the highlights for me this year has been to meet more members of this forum out in the Berg. And to see more members link up with each other. This is something which is very rewarding to me. Thanks to everyone that I did Berg-time with this year, or any other mountain activity elsewhere for that matter.

About these badges, yes that’s certainly something we can do if you guys want.

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

memories of day 1 :laugh: I still maintain that I enjoyed that GT more than most of the group, 11 khulus + Thabana Ntlenyana and 2000 photos taken - that's my kind of hike. I just started really badly...
