Driving down to Hogsback in the Eastern Cape for our Covid-19 delayed Amatola hike was delightfully pleasant even the last 48km of gravel. We needed the out. It was great meeting the group especially the Everest Base Camp veterans. We were briefed by Dan Cornick, coordinator of the hike and owner of Away with the Fairies, our stay for the first and last night. We each had loads of questions as he used coloured pens to scribble on the large map – water points, routes, huts, inclines, waterfalls, streams, escape routes etc.
