Decisons, decisions

Oh what to do, could I face a dreary British winter and a dreary job without some sort of break? Or maybe I could use my friend Mr Creditcard and book myself a nice trip somewhere? Well what would you do? I know what I did .. read on.

A little bit puffed out

This was taken towards the end of a walk we did from Sani Top and just before we got pelted with hail.

    Ahh, Steve, great indeed ! I was not aware of such gorgeous hiking in Lesotho (but I was not really in Africa at all). Quite a hike you did !! And now, well, I think, I put this one on my own wish list, not only on the Trekking List :-) Thanks :-))

    Another epic adventure of yours, and I don't know how I missed this one!! Yes, I enjoyed this area of the Drakensbergs back in '95, but not like you did! BTW, thks for the birthday wishes!

    A very different country to visit and to hike in. An excellent presentation for all of us who are used to less rugged country. Great photos and some super tips. Thanks for sharing.

    Super photos! Brings back fond memories. Until recently, the Blue Mountain Pass was the highest point in the World I'd reached!!

    Another fine travellogue. A completely different Africa than most of us think of.
