A big thank you to
@JonW for organising the weekend! The location was breath-taking, Zingela is definitely seeing me and my family again.
Accommodation was spot-on, the social area was great and the food more than what you could ask for. And all for very very reasonable prices. Situated on the banks of the Tugela, we were spoilt with an abundance of birdlife and some rather tame pigs of various species. Some of the guys opted to not go riding but rather try their luck at fly fishing, successfully landing a few yellows.
The riding was exceptional.
@JonW took us along the Tugela River valley on jeep tracks, single tracks, cattle track, riverbed, rocky ascents and descends, and arranging access to private land to cross. We encountered lots of cattle, but also some game i.e. giraffe, impala, etc. Riding up and down the mountains in and out of the valley was very enjoyable.
And of course, the company was great. It was good to see familiar faces and catch up again, and also to make some new friends.
Thanks to all who made it such a fun weekend.
Batteries charged and ready for the Big Smoke again
