I decided to get away from the city and spend easter weekend on the magalies mountains, joining up with various parties having planned kloofing trips, in total i spend 3 days kloofing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloofing doing 5 different kloofs.
Day1:
We traversed the magalies ridge from breeds neck entering upper tonquani from the ridge line, went down, doing the 7 meter kloof jump swimming and negotiating boulders in the river. We didn't do lower tonquani as we went up boulder kloof were i saw an interesting rock pillar that looked like it had a huge easter egg on top of it. We then went down easter kloof and enjoyed a natural bum slide. I decided to camp at mountain sanctuary park.
Day2:
Mountainbike up breeds neck 2 times, ride halfway to hekpoort and back, 60km total.
Go down grootkloof and abseil the 12m waterfall, the BEST kloof in the whole magalies with +-30 meter vertical cliff walls 3 meter apart!! Camp and overnight at grootkloof.
Day3:
From mountain sanctuary crossing cedarberg kloof, we headed down upper tonquani, doing the 7 meter kloof jump again, swimming and negotiating boulders in the river while it started raining. Going past boulder kloof this time and we headed down to lower tonquani picking up a family group with small children while the rain came down hard the helped them down practicing the art of family-kloofing**
** Family kloofing: A normal unsuspecting family, unfit and sometimes overweight, tricked into going down a kloof, once they are in the kloof they reach the point of no return and have to go down, this normally takes the whole day as it is very tedious for them, because they go so slow you get very cold very soon, and they won't forgive you for a year afterwards, were after they would love you for showing them a piece of heaven.
