The upcoming hikes thread

Hi Elinda. Brad (ST²)and I were on the same hike together. I have added a full write up and additional images which is now under the passes section. I wanted to get it up on Sat, but had technical issues uploading the images.

Hey fellow hiker/climbers, curious to know what you are planning in the way of hikes for the upcoming long weekend, Christmas holidays, and New Years? I always enjoy hearing about the upcoming adventures planned!!! Whatever you do, be safe, have a fantastic time, and happy holidays to you all.

PS - Let me start....it's interpid's birthday this week. So we are going to do an annual "birthday" hike this weekend. Heading to the Mweni area. Happy hiking. - Kelly

Up Fangs & down Rockeries this weekend - so we may bump into you!

Also 5 days in the Garden Castle area between Christmas and New Year in a self-catering cottage. Looking forward to some good day hikes!

Dont really handle long summer hikes, so will be up in the northern berg, just doing day hikes between Monks Cowl and RNNP - might have a go at up the crack, round witsieshoek hotel and down past Mahai Falls and Pass and return, with a swim in the river.

Anyone up in the Northern Berg for new years there is a music festival at Amphitheatre Backpackers:

You can catch me playing some music

Hi Kelly,

Enjoy your outing to Mnweni. I recall from a previous post you guys were gonna have a go at Nguza Pass, if so good luck and please post a write up with some photos.

I'm doing a long weekend hike in Didima Gorge this weekend, anyone else in the Cathedral/Didima area?

We will be hiking in Mweni this weekend 16-18th...looks like ill be bumping into a while lot of folks on the forum

Im calling shotgun on Mponjwane Cave

My Popple, Mafadi etc hike got canceled

Even sadder with the amazing weather we had today...

Our hike was great! Thanks Chris for organizing such a fantastic pre-Christmas, relaxing hike! Loved being in the Berg with you. Now off to some Canadian mountains for Christmas.

Good to hear Kelly

We also had an excellent hike with all that perfect weather. The traverse around the cutback on that cloudless morning (Sunday) was one of the best I've had... saw loads of potential "passes" to try out.

Didn't see Magan who was supposed to be doing Ifidi-Fangs or Chris/Kelly. How did Nguza go?

The only party I saw was heading to the top of Fangs (probably descending that same afternoon) on Saturday at 1pm or so. Was that any of you?
