The upcoming hikes thread

I'm jealous...

I assume you will be based at Lower Injasuthi Cave for the weekend? I had it booked preliminary for the weekend there after for the Saturday night, but all of that has gone out of the window for me now, I twisted a knee during pre-season training end of last week. Looks like torn ACL, so that's it for my hiking season (and athletics season).

That area below the three triplets is one of my all-time favourite places on earth.

I have one person joining me so far. Anyone got the time to join us?

@Sabine, how was your trip?

Anyone interested in a weekend hutted or tented/wilderness (if we can find one) hiking trip from 30 August to 2 September, around Jo'burg? Something from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.

Next weekend

So it looks like a team from Jo'burg is teaming up with a team from KZN next weekend to do the Corner to Leslie's loop

I'd be interested to know what everyone else is planning to do over the long weekend (and if I need to hurry up in making sure we are the first to arrive at UI Cave on Saturday night)...

September

Also - just to plan ahead, over the long weekend in September (21-24 September, the monday isn't a holiday) I am planning to head up to Sentinel Car Park for some hiking and climbing. The goal is 3 day trips:
- Sentinel standard route (probably with McLeod's variation)
- A day hike to Mount Amery
- A day hike to Namahadi

Anyone who is interested in joining is welcome to contact me. You are also welcome to join for 1 or 2 of the trips, or even just to come up to Sentinel Hut and enjoy a chat and a game of cards in the evening and do your own mission during the day.

Should be fun

Would love to join you on both, but can't on either due to other plans (luckily will be in a private game reserve over September long weekend )

Hi everyone, after almost daily visiting this site, this is my first post.Pretty chuffed that I have something to say, at least We are a group of 12 hikers who will be hiking from Sentinel Car Park to Cathedral Peak from 22 September...4 nights and 5 days. Hope to meet some of you on the Berg.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the forums.. Nice hike to Cathedral! It looks like you will enjoy some nice snow conditions - better take some warm kit. Are you planning to descend Mlambonja pass?
