    A bit strenuous but very rewarding, watch a lot af various antelope, then steep down through swamp areas to a dam wall and enjoying the ice cold water, back again through swamp areas.

    Wow what a surprise this little loop had install - a must do trail of the area. Short but highly enjoyable. Not suitable to children under 10 would be our guess.

    An extremely tough trail run through the hills of the Vredefort Dome. Not the easiest of surfaces to run on. That last mineshaft at the end of the profile was really that bad.

    Easy trail - chains for the last 20m - not difficult just put there to assist - not really needed to climb up. We walked fairly slowly- can be done in an hour.

    I decided to run the route in a different direction to see how it compares. It may be slightly more difficult because you end up running the last 1.5km mainly "uphill" to the finish.

    Follow the red trail through the forest and take a left turn to the lookout point for a spectacular view of the valley. Then follow the markers back as you link back up to the red trail.

    Pleasant run along the banks of the Vaal river. All offroad. A loop within a loop to make up the distance. A pity the route is short.
