The guard on the gate let me in at 06.00 while it was still dark. It was cold too. I had 3 layers, gloves and a hat but found myself wishing I had more….

WE ARE PLANNING A WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY MORELETA KLOOF (ALSO CATERING FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED)
The Friends of Moreleta Kloof Nature Reserve are planning a walk in the Moreleta Kloof, which will be followed with soup and sherry at Rademeyers. We will walk along the planned wheelchair friendly route.
We will start the walk at 11:00 and finish at around 12:30, on the 31st of July 2010.
This is a very important event, please join us and become part of the team. Please let us know if you will be there by contacting Rademeyers at 012 998 1693 or by emailing us on info@moreletakloof.co.za, so that we know how many people to prepare for. It is only R45 for the soup, bread and sherry.
Soek jy iets om te doen hierdie vakansie? Is die kinders verveeld?
Pak ‘n rugsak met lekker eetgoed (elke papiertjie moet terug in die sak), iets om te drink, en kom stap in die Moreletakloof.
Maak ‘n groep van vriende en familie bymekaar en kom spandeer ‘n hele paar uur saam in die Kloof. Die Kloof is nou Bosveld mooi, geklee in sy Winterskleure en jy stap op byna 8km gesnyde graspaadjies, in die mooiste Kloof langs die standhoudende Rademeyerspruit, wat jy heeltyd hoor kabbel.
Daars verskillende roetes, Suikerbos en Duiker, het bietjie opdraendes en dan die baie plat Rademeyers roete waar jy selfs met ‘n stootwaentjie kan stap.
Die mooiste tyd, vir my is natuurlik Sondagoggend, so vroeg as moontlik, dis stil, klam en baie pragtig.
Julle kan selfs vir die kinders vra om te kyk hoeveel bokke, voëls of klein diertjies hulle kan sien, daars die mooiste verskeidenheid. Hierdie uitstappie is ook die ideale tyd vir kinders om te besluit watter taak of projek hulle, vir skool hier kan kom doen. Deur die jaar, is daar pragtige sampioene, klein veldplante, ‘n verskeidenheid van grassoorte, die mooiste blommetjies en moenie vergeet van die kabouters en fëetjies wat tussen die blare speel nie.
Kom geniet die Natuur op sy beste in hierdie 90 hektaar Reservaat. Oop vanaf 6 VM to 6 NM.
Kontak ons gerus op info@moreletakloof.co.za vir meer inligting!
The Moreleta Kloof Nature Reserve, along with Faansie Peacock, will be hosting a bird watching day on Saturday 12 June 2010. The walk will start at 08:00 AM and end around 12:00 PM.
Entrance is free of charge, just bring your birding gear and yourself! A few snacks and something to drink will also be a good idea while we are out in the veld. Vehicles can be safely parked inside the reserve.
During the last birdwatching day in February 2010, more than 70 species were identified.
Afterwards, you can enjoy a meal at the Voerkraal.
