Hi everyone.
Last week while doing the Northern Traverse we used Easter Cave as our shelter for the last night. Unfortunately when we got there we found two bin bags full of food that some eggs left behind
We took out all the rotting and moldy food and buried the perishable's but had to leave about half a bag inside the cave. Everything we left was none perishables and still had a valid shelf date.
It would be great if someone could take this with them and give it to shepherds or get it off the mountain. We took as much of it off the mountain as we could. There is only about half a bag left.
On a side note, this really breaks my heart. If you know anyone who stayed at a Peermont hotel before they went into the berg please let them know that this is not on! We need to leave no trace and do our best to take not only the rubbish we take in but try to take even more off on every trip by picking up what we can on the last days if we have the space. Leaving bags of food in the berg for someone else's enjoyment is not helpful.

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

Thank you for cleaning up and for posting here!
By cleaning up you are making a big difference, and you are being part of the solution.
