It brings back memories of 52 years ago when I did my first Drakensberg hike with my father. We camped on top of the escarpment in my Dads pride and joy a new Andre Jamet tent. It rained all night and the tent leaked like a sieve, wet and bitterly cold we packed up and decided to head for the Mountain Club hut. There was only one problem the mist was so thick that we could only see a few metres in front of us. As we came to what looked like a drop we would crawl on all fours to make sure we were not on the edge of the escarpment. We wandered around in the mist for hours and then what we thought was the Sentinel loomed ahead of us. By pure luck it turned out to be the Mountain Club Hut and it was not long before we were inside and warming ourselves at a roaring fire. It was to be the start of a life long love of the mountains but with the for knowledge that not only could be one of the most beautiful things in the world but the elements could turn in an instant leading to tragedy and death.
