A memory trip up the waterberg mountains
      #61514 - 21/08/06 11:09 PM

We were in Ellisras this weekend visiting my Father when yesterday morning I deciced to take my son up the mountain. Luckily the guy next door build a road steep but it's there. So off we went my son on my shoulder.



I also realized that carrying 15kg to the top is quite tiring and had to take pictures a long the way for the simple excuse to have a breather.



Aaron my son thought it was very funny seeing his dad out of breath. Anyway we took it slow (Me) and we managed to get somewhere



Not the best portrait but it works.



Almost on top and a view of the Mogol river below. That is about 8km from the Hans Strijdom dam don't know what the dams new name is or don't care as well.



Finally on top I have spend many hours sitting on that specific rock. A few meters to the right I sat on another rock when they were still putting thatch on our roof when a kudu cow walked straight towards me she didn't know about me neither did she know what hit her. Anyway the guys doing the thatching were very happy for extra protein and me for the help carrying her off.

I hope my son enjoyed it but I'm sure he did it took me less than a third of the time to get down. Hope you enjoy the pictures I have once again build some great memory with my son.

Looks as though you've got your son pointed in the right direction.

Even though my legs are almost not stiff anymore two days later it was worth it all the way. Next time my wife is coming along as well to carry some refreshments thats an idea a ice cold beer on top of the mountain
