A few weeks ago a group of friends and I decided to explore the mountain region of Mpumalanga in South Africa. The terrain is a mixture of steep slopes, dry rivers and streams, loose rocks, washouts, slippery clay, mud, jungle and high mountain meadows.
Ha ha, no lions running around there, however snakes have to be a consideration. We're moving towards winter over here, so snakes are mostly tucked away, hybernating.
