Fanatic Drakensberg Wilderness hiker. Always ready for hiking, exploration and adventure. The unbeaten track, following the sun, sleeping under the stars. π²
βI hike the wilderness, so that I fill my soul, mile after endless mile, with the goodness of natureβ
A hike should both be a mental and physical challenge β you ought to feel a sense of achievement, a βWow, I made it!β To many hikers the feeling of complete independence, self-reliance and solitude is as exhilarating as the breathtaking scenic beauty experienced.
βTrials are not dust and pebbles on a hill. Nor even grass and wild buds by a lake; trails are adventure and a hand to still the restless pulse of life, when men would break their minds with weight of thinking. Trails are peace, the call to dreams, the challenge to ascent."
βBeware if you do not experience fear in the wilderness. Not to experience fear deprives you of the supreme joy of mastering it.β
(Walter Bonatti)
