Lauras camp was a banger. The day started off with us not being able to get to the campsite due to some dire flooding of the river (RIP Lucy’s license plate). We continued the first day with some campsite construction and some yummy food. We did a short knowledge relay with knots and skills. We …

When I started planning by Springbok hike, I selected a nice route across the front of Sneeuberg. After the planning was mostly complete I had to scrap my first hike route. I was unable to get a permit because the area of the Cederberg I was planning to hike in was full. This all meant …
