Travel - Ceder Escape - Epic camp weeking with good friends!
I've been missing from Steemit for 5 days now! In fact, I had absolutely no signal/mobile reception for the last four days... what a blessing. The reason for this was four days of camping on a remote farm near Citrusdal, a small town at the foot of the Cederberg Mountain range in South Africa.
The camp grounds are only five spots big and we booked the entire place for us only. We took our friends with us and all together we were ten adults, eleven kids - ranging from 2 years old to 8 years old - and three dogs. Just imagine, not TV, no shops, no entertainment... just some proper family and friend time in nature.
Every evening we did a "braai"! Basically a barbecue, but meat grilled on open wood fire - a South African's favourite food. Afterwards we took March-mallows on sticks and warmed it up on the coals for desert. The kids absolutely loved it. We also made stick-bread, bread dough turned around a stick and stuck in the fire. Once done, you eat it with maple syrup and butter!
Being extreme joggers, we also worked in two trail runs and a hike up the mountain. We left the kids with our friends and Riana and I explored a trail or two. I also did an epic peak call Middelbergpiek (aka Middle Mountain Peak) with a friend we call "Super Piet" just because he never gets tired. Our trail Jack Russell, Ghost, also did all the trails with us.
In addition to the run, we also did two hikes with the family. One to an epic waterfall and one to epic rock where we did some free climbing. My son absolutely loved the climbing and he was in his element.
What a priviledge living in such a beautiful country!
Tell me what you think and stay tuned for more?!

Wow I think staying away from Steemit for such a brilliant reason is more meaningful.. I think everyone in this technology century should do he same what you did. Uniting with nature and spending time with your family and friends in such a place is the most precious moments..
Thanks, glad you like it. ;)
Sounds like a proper digital detox, four days no reception!!! 11 kids??? Jeeesus... they didn't drive you crazy? Haha, just joking. Y'all must feel super recharged after hanging out in the mountains for so long without being bombarded with Steemit other social networks. Looks like something I must do some time soon! Pics look awesome too!!
Thanks appreciate the support... yes, luckily with that many kids they kinda looked after themselves. ;) I love transferring my love for the mountains to them, so I guess it is worth the craziness. ;)
LOL okay. So if I get kids I am better off getting a few at the same time so I can just delegate the work? :-D
Haha, sound like a plan. I wouldn't get more than 2-3 though. ;)
Those trails and mountains! So beautiful. It also seems like a lot of fun for the kids, I know my kids love tents.
Yes, the kids absolutely love camping!
That's a massive marshmallow there!
About 5 marshmallows in one! ;)
I missed your photos so much.
Haha, thanks man. ;)
Love this! It looks like a great time and tons of great pics. I would love to see that place. I am glad to have found you in the travel discord group again! I always enjoy following your jogging trips! :)
Thanks for the support! Enjoy the rest of your weekend... ;)
