LATE WINTER - CEDERBERG

 Very cold nights, rain, motreën and  zero minus degrees cold at night, it's all part of the Cederberg in August. We venture out to play when the sun pops out and huddle around a fire in the evening.

Of course, there are sprinklings of West Coast Flowers to be seen - even among the winter vineyards.

Of course, the rising moon on the first night was pièce de résistance. Here we go:

If lucky we see an extensive rainbow, reminding us that things are not that bad. Maybe there is life after Covid-19?

The star of the show- a perfect rainbow!

We shall see.

Thanks to David & Cisca Niewoudt, and Pieter du Toit, as always for a perfect visit!

A WALK UP THE MOUNTAIN TO THE MALTESE CROSS IS REWARDING

Even if the weather is threatening, you can expect a 4 - 5 hour turnaround on this hike, which rewards hikers with incredible views and the chance to have a snack on the leeward side of the most incredible weather-eroded rock formation: the Maltese Cross. This happens on the slopes of Sneeuberg, so expect the dramatic scenery.

Here, Adam Henman, conjures up a storm ... Gandalf-style.
