I moan and groan about the hair, picking up the poop, the walks in the wind and the fact that she follows me all around the house which drives me nuts.... but we wouldn't want it any other way... life is just to quiet and clean without pets!
I guess you need to do it once though - it is easy for us who have done it a couple of times to say don't do... But I must agree from when I first did it in 2008 to this year it has changed and not always in a good way. Having stuff stolen from your car in the shuttle service is not a great feeling. Going down into the Umko on Day 2 in early morning mist is still breathtaking and something everyone should experience if they can! Keep trying KingL for an entry but why not do 3 Towers in the meantime?
Yes 2010 was a beaut - nice and warm. I keep promising myself to go and train on that hideous Grootrivierpoort climb because its so close to us but can't bring myself to do it!!!
