At the end of every year we head down to Wilderness for 2 weeks of glorious coastal ridge-soaring. Come for a couple of days or come for the full 2 weeks! We stay at the Ebb & Flow Wilderness National Park Campsite.
Then we head down to Valley-of-Desolation & Porterville for some serious XC, with a short stop-over at Cape Town!
