Lesotho Tour - Day 1
Top of Sani Pass. 2874m.
The pass has deteriorated since last year but still no problem for any 4x4 with low range and moderate clearance.

No rain today but wind speeds exceed 70 kph and it’s cold!

As the spring conditions take hold of KwaZulu-Natal the focus shifts to the summer paddling season and the teams at the Canyon Kayak Club and the Khotso Lodge & Horse Trails are encouraging paddlers to enjoy the Southern Drakensberg paddling season.

The uMzimkhulu River plays host to the KZN Mixed Doubles Championships during the December period and the event is always a calendar highlight for paddlers as they team up with family members or partners for the one-day race on 14 December.
