It air was a bit chilly (probably high 20s C) but the water was warm.Riviersonderend Route
Trail Distance: 15km (8,5 hours)
Trail description: If Suicide Gorge is too daunting, this gorge might be a better option for novices. The gorge lies lower down the same river as Suicide Gorge. Nervous beginners can avoid most of the jumps or do them from a low spot. The highest jump on this circular route is 7m. You should be reasonable fit, willing to swim in cold water and not be afraid of heights if you want to tackle the route. The main attractions include spectacular canyon scenery and lovely waterfalls.
Special notes: The route is open from 1 November to 30 April. Hikers should be fit. Light footwear is advisable, as well as a wetsuite. Use a waterproof bag.
Yes I am south of LA north of Mexico and right next to the pacific. Beautiful weather almost all the time. And my son is a surf skate rat I guess it comes with the territory. Coldest winter in a long time though, must have gotten down to atleast 47F some nights.Thrash Harry wrote:@Cyn. San Diego. Straining my eyes to look at the map on my study wall, that's just south of Los Angeles, right? What time of day is it there now? 11:30 Pm here, Saturday 31st January. Pretty much mid-winter, just had a few days of snow, now rain and wind. Sun, sea nad sand where you are? I could do with some of that. Then again, I quite like the change of the seasons we get over here, but Junior got well annoyed about the rain we had a couple of summers ago when all he wanted to do was go skateboarding. He's already determined to emigrate to the States when he's old enough. Thanks a lot MTV's Jackass!
Umm I mentioned the Real World just for the fact that is was filmed here. The photography shows how pretty it is. But you will see SD for what it is. Very policed city.Red Sunsets wrote:Who mentioned the 'Real World'?
47F is a good summer in Ghillie Jocko Land!
Now I'm off to my bed to watch 'The FBI Files' which shows how mad and mental Amerikee is. I'll stick with the cold weather and being miserable.
Cheers!
