We are off to Amphitheatre, hoping we'll get the snow.

Anyone got any ideas how the snow situation looks like around Garden Castle? Taking my wife, son and nephew camping this weekend and I'd love to for the boys to have a "snow experience" :thumbsup:

At the moment there is suggestion of snow early on Sunday morning in that area down to about 2500m. The snow forecasts this year have been prone to changing on a daily basis, so I guess we should wait till closer to the time to get a more accurate idea of what is going to happen.

There is still lots of snow on the Western Lesotho highlands, I drove up from Maseru to Maputsoe/Leribe today and saw some really deep looking snow

Today's sat image. Afriski must be happy.


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

No. 6: good snowfall on July 7. This is the sat image from the following day:



Snow on all major high-lying ranges of the Maloti-Drakensberg including the Wittberg. Not so much snow currently on the Northern KZN Berg escarpment, but certainly more in the Central and Southern Berg.

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

Hi All

I was luck enough to be up in Upper Injasuti Cave on Saturday evening. We woke up to a winter wonderland on Sunday morning. Will post a few photo's later. Lots of snow everywhere. We could see the front approaching on Saturday afternoon on top of Mfadi. What a privilege to have been up there.
