A trip to the top of the Amphitheatre!


There is something about being able to break away from it all. There is a special kind of experience to be hand in popping the back pack in the car and heading for the hills.

We recentlty did just that and took an easy four hour drive down to Qwa Qwa.

It was a glorious warm, clear and sunny May day. The sky was clear and set the scene for an enjoyable 3 day excursion into the Mountains.

Our first stop was a short 10 minute viewing stop of the amphitheatre at Witsieshoek Mountain Resort, which still needs a major overhaul. However, the beatuty of the berg seems to allow Witsies' to carry on, no matter how much it falls apart. The staff at Witsies should get an award for pride and endurance, but that is another story.

Our next stop, was the Sentinel carpark where we prepared for a 3h47 walk up to the top of the amphitheatre after signing the mountain register.
