Waterfalls above Victoria Falls, Mount Victoria
Note I had submitted this walk 5 january but no reply on our website Silver Cascades, Ma Belle Cascades and Horseshoe Cataract, a time to cool off and relax on a hot summers day. Steep climb down and back, mostly on track, but investigate the old original track to the falls. Bring your swimmers and plenty of water.

Ivy League Pass-Colo River-The Tributary to the West
From the locked gate on T3 Trail, take the Gospers Ridge Trail and descend to the Colo River at GR 841 000 via Ivy League Pass. Walk a short distance upstream and head up a large tributary at GR 837 002, ideally to its tributary at GR 829 991, then use that watercourse to eventually reconnect with the Gospers Ridge Trail and the vehicles. This plan may need to be modified according to the conditions on the ground. About 13 km, some (7-8 km) of it is on trail. Scrambling and exposure. Partly exploratory.
