At the beginning of last week a late cold front hit most of South Africa.
On Monday 9th October, the Gauging province received hail stones the size of tennis balls and then on Tuesday 10th October, Durban was hit by a huge rain and wind storm, rendering the N2 flooded for much of the day and many people loosing trees and roofs. Very scary indeed!
Some of this rain ended up falling across The KZN Drakensberg as snow, so Bryan and I decided on Wednesday that we would head to Highmoor Nature Reserve for the afternoon, taking a picnic lunch with us, to see what Giants Castle was looking like (obviously Bryan wanted to spend a bit of time fishing too!)
Wow! it was really looking quite stunning. Although some of the snow had already melted, due to Wednesday being such a glorious day, it was still a beautiful view!
Bryan hooked up a fly and set to a spot of fly-fishing and I got my camera out and took a few pics of the stunning Highmoor Nature Reserve with Giants Castle Mountain Range in the background.

And whilst I was happily enjoying taking a few photos, Bryan hooked a really great sized rainbow trout, so we were both very chuffed and it really was a beautiful afternoon! We are so lucky to live close to such a beautiful, unspoilt and un-touristy part of The Drakensberg.
So now we are planning and looking forward to our next day trip out and about exploring the beautiful Drakensberg!
