The upcoming hikes thread
Aux wrote: We are going up the chain ladder and on to Ifidi cave on Thursday. Will see how the weather is and maybe stay 2 nights in the cave and then hike back to Sentinal carpark.
Something to check before going:
Witsieshoek is covered in a thick blanket of snow, and the road is currently closed. We've started the process of getting the road cleared because the Lodge is fully booked for the week-end and we are going to do everything we can to make it safe for guests to get in and out. The landline phones are not working either, so please use the cell phone 073-228-7391. Road access status will be updated later in the morning.

Will be in the Berg the weekend after though to enjoy what is left of it.
I have to say that I'm somewhat cured of the need for heavy snow since I've had several mountain trips messed up because snow conditions were too thick. Still nice to see though.
Enjoy it guys!
Take nothing but litter, leave nothing but a cleaner Drakensberg.
