Typical campsite on Polentswa trail. There is only a signpost. That's it.
A-frames at Polentswa campsite. Start of Polentswa trail.
We had to abandon the dishwashing till dusk.
On return from the Polentswa trail we had to cross the Nossob to get to the main road again. This was during the month of September
