A Walk to the Vogelgat Waterfall

There were 11 enthusiastic Hurriers in Vogelgat with perfect hiking conditions to look for the Disa uniflora and to reach the waterfall for a swim.

The first Disa was found relatively early during the hike and the endorphins started to kick in and Hurriers made it to the pool with much excitement, and some brave faces with strong arms holding onto the rope, shifting on a wooden plank along the cliff face and using the thick rope to haul ourselves up the last cliff to the exciting pool and the beautiful high waterfall with its treasured Disa uniflora…. the coffee and swim were special treats.
