Garden Route Trails, Drakensberg Treks

Hi All,

What a stunning winter we've been having! Sunshine down on the Garden Route and crisp clear sunny days in the Drakensberg, well at least until last week... a bit of a cold front came in and our last Thabana Ntlenyana Trek was in the snow. The photo's from treks below were taken 5 days apart. South Africa's great for diversity!

Got a bit of time, pop onto our facebook site to view more awesome pics from our recent treks and trails https://www.facebook.com/goverticalmountaineering 

Winter may be the season to curl up with the cat and a cup of cocoa, but is's great fun to get out and explore in the crisp invigorating air, and if you just can't drag yourself away from the fire, plan for a Spring time come back.
