Table Mountain winter overnight hike

On the first day of the hike, we climbed up Kasteelspoort. The weather was extremely miserable that day, with the wind extremely strong. The wind was so strong that it made waterfalls flow upwards! 

On top of the mountain it started to rain. This was very unpleasant as the wind blew the rain horizontally into my face. 

Once we got the scout mountain club hut, we lit a fire to help warm up. Everyone was playing card games as we could not go outside. For dinner everyone brought their own food and after we had eaten, we carried on playing games. 

On the way down, we went down Nursery Ravine. As it was so wet, at some parts of the path the river overflowed onto the path. As we descended into Kirstenbosch gardens, it started to lightly drizzle on us.
