Summer Mist: Oct-Dec 2014

Taken on my first escarpment overnighter:

Top of Langilabalele Pass




Camping above Bannerman's Pass

This was taken 2 weeks ago on our way back from Marble Baths Cave to Ijusuthi camp. The guys are always in high spirits...come rain, mist, snow or sun!

And for good measure, here is a photo of Viking taking that photo

Had an awesome but very misty hike at Monks Cowl this passed weekend - took some video on Sunday morning of the change from clear blue sky and sun at the foot of Ntunja to being enveloped in thick mist. We even temporarily lost our packs on the slopes after descending - definitely adds to the argument for GPS

Sphinx in the Mist:

Mystical Dragon

Taken from Lower Injesuthi Cave during this past December.
Sunrise above the Cave had been beautifully clear, but by the time I came down for breakfast the mists had already settled in and produced this mystical view of the Injesuthi Butress and Scaly Peak.

Last minute entry! I'm only just back at my pc now, although the pic was taken in December so hopefully still counts?

We were camping just outside Underberg for a week, so my brother-in-law and I decided to take the kids to Pillar Cave for a night.

Check the "trekking poles"




That evening, this guy decided he felt like joining us in the cave:




Perfect weather the next day:




And finally, the "Rhino in the Mist":


Taken at 6am on the 29th of December, shortly after the weather cleared - it had poured the whole night!
