Fatality in Skeleton Gorge onTable Mountain


I think this is where it happened and would like to remind all visitors to Table Mountain to please be very careful.  This mountain has 4 seasons in 1 day.  The rain makes is extremely vulnerable for rockfalls and creates very slippery surfaces.  My sincere condolences to the American family.

Terribly sad isn't it. I was in Kirstenbosch that day - when I saw the rescue helicopter come out with a stretcher I knew something dreadful had happened.
I've only done Skeleton Gorge once and it was pretty scary. Can only imagine how poor the conditions must have been that day with all the mist and rain.

New to reading blogs?

I have heard so many people saying they are new to reading blogs. Here is the 'low down' of what you need to do:

1. The blog is written in date order. Latest posts are at the top and older posts below them. Older posts have a link to them - find the link if you scroll right to the bottom of this screen - see Older Posts.
2. Click on the post header if you wish to make comments below the articles. Comments are most welcome :)
3. I blog our hikes to help other people find nice hiking routes, but also because we love taking pictures on our hikes.
4. On the right column are images of some of the hikes we have done so far. Click on the images to read about those hikes.
5. Subscribe to my newsletter if you wish to get updates of new posts. I will not inundate you with mails - promise.

Thanks for reading my blog and hope you enjoy the read.

There is an old saying...

The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.
