+Wazat Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Just wondering is there any place to get hiking routes and/or track logs for hiking trails in the Drakensberg. I have searched but found nothing. It would be great to source these as I am sure that a few great hiking trails can be shared. Quote
+Blackjack Bailey Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Have a look at Tracks4Africa - I've only started looking at it myself, so I can't comment much on it, but it might be the answer to your question! Quote
+CrystalFairy Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Ive been using T4A for about 2 years now and its amazing.. All the hiking routes, 4x4, game drives, etc are on these.. But remember in South Africa these are not Routable... They are also very reasonably priced... Quote
+Rhino and Hedgehog Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I have a T4A but i does not have many trails in the Cathedral range (the part I think Wazat is after - if I am not wrong) - I see there are tracks in Monks Cowl and Sentinel areas(even these are not complete other than that we are on our own to the best of my knowledge - I have sent my track of the route to the top of cathedral peak and rainbow gourge so hopefully that will be issed some time.... i fear it is up to to us cachers to lay the tracks and submit the info.... unless someone knows something?????

+Wazat Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 I mean more community based. I don't know if there is something like that up yet. T4A is an option I have looked at but I have no idea what it is like. Do they work on a time based track log or is it just a track. I think that this could be a great idea if the regular hikers can get stuck in and start compiling a list of great hiking trails. I have seen the T4A routes marked on Google Earth and some look more or less right for the Monks cowl area. But I think the best is if we have actual track logs then on that we can see the stops etc. Maybe add a waypoint or 10 with great views (Although all views in the berg are awesome) rivers, caves, peaks etc. Just a thought...

+Metro Nomad Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Hi, Take a look HERE and see if this meets your needs. Quote
+Wazat Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Don't find any tracks or am I missing it on that site? All I see are a bunch of pictures and a brief description of the hike. Quote
+BornAdventures Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Take a look at the Trailnetwork on Motionbased.com. Here's the link to the Drakensberg filter, but often tracks are mislabled, so with a bit of searching you will be able to find many more. Quote
+Wazat Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 That's what I am looking for. Thanks.... Will check them out. Quote
+Rhino and Hedgehog Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 VERY Nifty will have to up load some of my tracks! Thanks for sharing TGF Quote
