Karoo - Day6 Leg7 - Near Top of pass

We stopped for a few more pictures as we approached the top of the Swartberg pass. These pictures are not the actual top, but after the steep section where it flattens out going towards the top. The top can be seen in the distance where a thick layer of cloud was awaiting us. Mist, possibly cold, wind and even rain. We were nervous as a cold front had been predicted to be coming through. It's not ideal riding in those conditions when you could have beautiful views, sunshine, etc. Time would tell.
