Happy Hiking
As with weather the world over, the elements around the Drakensbergs can be very changeable; hiking in the region can be a pleasure on balmy, calm days, or a challenge of endurance on a grizzly grim day.
Our first day's hiking around Montusi Mountain Lodge in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa was undertaken in the most beautiful of winter days: sunny, blue sky, warm, slight breeze, beautiful long views, and just enough of the ups and downs to make a late lunch-time beer a welcome reward. We walked around the Wanhoop Loop, about 3 hours stroll, a couple of views being shown below. The long views so much need for the weary town eyes we had developed are clear to see. The whole area is criss-crossed with paths, mountain bike tracks, and lazy little streams and rivers providing idyllic picnic spots, and even swimming pools in the summer season. All these images are worth using the zoom in facility if you can.
