Hints for Hiking in the Drakensberg
- Firstly do not rush. Take time to enjoy the silence, have a cup of tea, take a cooling dip in a mountain stream.
- Complete the Mountain Register and report back on your return.
 Prevent blisters by wearing two pairs of socks.
- Wear in new shoes by putting dry soap on the heels of the outer pair of socks
- Carry LARGE dressings to cover blisters
- Make your pack as light as possible
- Get a fishing permit and live off trout (as long as you can fly fish!)
- Carry lightweight foods, matches, knife, torch, stove, toilet paper, passport and maps. Use plastic or aluminium containers.
- Listen to the weather report before departure. Hot sunny days can rapidly become freezing cold and wet.
- If you are camping, buy the best possible tent ans ensure that the flysheet reaches al the way to the ground.
- Never light a fire in an unauthorised area.
- Don't touch anything, don't take anything.
