Sani Pass saunter

October 31 - November 2, 2008

Sunrise from the top of the escarpment.	Drakensberg Rockjumper.	Sloggett's Ice Rat.
Drakensberg Siskin.	Sloggett's Ice Rat.
An interesting feature of this walk was the opportunity to explore some of the geology of the area.	The flowers were many and varied.	A good example of mechanical weathering.
Looking back down towards the South African border post.	After an 8km climb, the top is a welcome sight.	Tramping, tramping up the dusty path ...
It's a long and winding road to the top.	Intrepid adventurer Marion Melville.	Marion's other half, Alan Moulster.
On a clear day, you can see forever.	Marion Melville taking a breather.	These boots may have been made for walking, but they're going nowhere fast.
The gang trudge slowly up, dreaming of a cold beer and a comfy bed.	A gentle reminder to leave nothing but footprints.	Are we there yet?
This view is certainly worth the effort.	Monty Brett and Marion Melville prepare lunch for the ravenous crew.	On of the many birding stops en route to the South African border post.
