Rob and Dawn invited Russell, Brandon and I to stay with them in The Mountain and Ski Club hut on the top of Table Mountain. I walked up with Dawn via Constantia Kek and the Jeep Track and the others joined us later. The weather up the top of the mountain was sublime with a warm berg wind. Dawn and I had a glorious swim in the dam. Russell brought up a bottle of delicious port and Brandon made the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted with cream liquor in it. The next day, Russell and I strolled to the Diving Board for photos. He then stayed for a swim while Dawn and I hiked down together again. Some wonderful heart to heart chats with her.

Climbing Table Mountain via Dark Gorge
A more challenging route up Table Mountain that was very rewarding with lots of beautiful forrest and stunning views from the top. The highlight of the day was video-calling Colleen and Steve on the way down. Wonderful to reconnect with them after so many years.
