Friday - arrive at Cathedral and spend the night in tseketseke hut.
Saturday - climb the column.
Sunday. - hike back to cathedral for burgers and beer.

If it snows, hike back to cathedral for beer. Sounds like a plan

Superb idea. I always seem to battle to get people fired up for a hike and as such only end up doing 2 or so a year.
That's just not on!

Hmm, are you sure there is a meteor shower this weekend?

I dont see it listed here...

Edit- Maybe you were thinking of the Perseids meteor which looks like is only visible in the N. Hemisphere

Anyway I'll keep an eye out from Goats/Thomathu Cave this weekend :)

Not really sure which route we're taking down...that's left up to the trail leader. I must admit, I am not keen to hike in the snow.

I would recommend Mlambonja because it's direct to Cathedral Peak Hotel... there is also Twins Cave at the top which is a great spot. Most of the route from the bottom of the pass has water too.

Guys I really need to get out, going a bit mad here. Unfortunately the next weekend i have is 30 Aug - 1 Sep. I'm trying to organise a trip near Jo'burg, but struggling to find enough people. Anyone keen to join me, or alternatively have a trip planned for that weekend I could join?

Thanks, I may take you up on that. If I do, will be Northern 'berg, Sentinel area (elsewhere just too far unfortunately)

I'm not up for Sentinel Carpark seeing as I'm going to spend 4 days there on 5 weeks time, but if you are up for driving a bit further to Mnweni or Didima, let me know.
