Day 3 of our trip involved moving south across the Drakensbers's Mnweni escarpment. Much of the walking in these parts involves switching between side of the watershed and thus being either in South Africa or Lesotho. There are now border fences here and the border itself is only marked with cairns. This is free roaming at its best. One can walk where ever you want.
We woke up to a great sunrise with the blanket of clouds below us. Then
our day took us past many other passes, including Icidi, Madonna and Fangs. None of these are as hard and techinical as Ifidi Pass, but they should still not be underestimated.
We eventually made camp next to a river somewhere between Fangs and Rwanqa passes.
