Anyone going to do a hike in the Berg from Jhb this weekend? I'm looking to join if that's okay?

I'm having an attack of mountain madness and have no hiking partners available right now... :(

My issue is finding a gap in the current autumn season here, not sure if my weekend will happen...


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

@ASL: Would love to go this weekend, but unable to.. Although I am looking for a hiking partner especially for the berg multi days. Most of my friends that I have approached are all half hearted... Got all my equipment ready but no people :(

Although I wish I could escape to the mountains this weekend, it will have to wait until 27 Nov - planning on a quick Keith's Bush Camp / Grays Pass weekend hike.
Has anyone been up there recently? Would like to know the weather & water situation

Hi JulieMK

Generally speaking it is very hot and dry in the berg at the moment but for more specifics regarding weather you should check the forecasts a few days before you go. I find a combination of windguru and mountain-forecast gives an accurate indication of things to come.

For more on the water situation follow this thread.

I am also up for a 2-3 day trip, no real preference but central & southern berg is closest for me. I will update this post with dates when I have consulted with my significant others (wife & boys). My fitness is not great as I've been hassling with a chest/throat infection for a while but seem to be on the mend now.

make a difference. today.

Ok, so my hiking partner can no longer make the trip I had planned on taking this coming weekend and I seriously need to get out there - the Berg is whispering my name in my dreams!!
Is anyone going hiking in over the next two weekends?
If all else fails, are your still doing your planned hike Papa Dragon?
I will be leaving from the Vaal area but can meet up along the way.
