Once upon a rock in Swinburne

So lovely to get out of the city!!

This weekend I went rock climbing in Swinburne, Freestate with the Mountain Climbing Club of South Africa. It was just great! Lovely to get out of busy Joburg and into some real nature.

This is the rock/mountain that we climbed on the second day.
 The view is from the  luxury barn where we spent the night

The lovely view from the stand a the second pitch

There were lots of nice flowers.
No idea what this one's called unfortunately

Happy and really fried after only two pitches... it was boiling hot!!
