nHlosane 20_9_23

On a beautiful sunny day, 18 of us ventured up the steep ascent, to the contour path, then on to the summit of Nhlosane. Two snakes were spotted quietly sunning themselves. (?Olive grass snake or Berg adder) The whole area had been recently and intentionally burnt, but the green grass shoots were already coming through the dry earth. The climb is apparently 1976m, whereas Mt Gilboa is 1765m! It took us 2 hours at an easy pace, to reach the top.
