The party of 10 set off from NMMU promptly at 8.30 a.m. on a perfect winter’s morning. Pausing at Tierkop hut, we continued towards the Kransberg saddle on the trail path. This leads through the delightful fern forest.
At a leisurely pace the saddle was reached at 12.30 p.m. Given the hour, we decided not to extend the hike to Skurwekop, seen in this photo with Cradock Peak behind.

After enjoying the views for half an hour, we return to NMU by 4.30 p.m.
Distance at easy gradients: 20km.
