Sore throat and slight head cold... go away.

C • Sore throat 1

Woke up to a spectacular sunrise - all the clouds has disappeared overnight, so we had a brilliant view over the Cathedral range and the Little Berg. Hiked down Camel Pass and through the waterfall valley before contouring back to Didima Camp. 1742m of descent! Burgers and beers at the Cathedral Peak Hotel to finish off a great weekend in the mountains :)

Awoke to cloudy conditions which stuck around for most of the day, but we had some good views anyway as they would part to reveal the escarpment occasionally. Up to the contour path, along it and down to the Didima Gorge, quick swim and then up Tlanyaku Pass to the top. The 600m high Didima Falls were pumping and the whole Berg was just so green and brimming with water! After lunch, a further 7km traverse back North (via Little Saddle and Windsor Castle for me) up to Roland's Cave, where we spent the night. Clouds swirling around at sunset made for some amazing scenes. Best cave in the Berg no question...

Logging moving time only, so this was a long day.

Weekend Berg mission with Fran, Charne, Werner, Gilles and Meghan. Drove down after work on Friday evening and hiked up Mike's Pass, where we found shelter in the ruins of the old staff accommodation at the top. Misty so went to sleep hoping for clear views the next day!
