We had wondered how bad the visibility was going to be in the mist, made up of cloud coming over the peak of the mountain, but when we got there it was nothing like as bad as we had expected it might be. Not cold nor wet. The sun even came out in gaps in the cloud every now and again. We stopped off at "The Top" took some pictures and then set off down the mountain. Saw and even managed to get a picture of a Klipspringer on the side of the mountain next to the road.
