Route: Iron Crown (South Africa)

An out and back up the Iron Crown, which at 2,126 m (6,975 ft) is the highest peak in the province of Limpopo. Start and finish is the local village (Haenertsburg) pub nestled at the foot of the Crown,which takes it name from the mountain. Apart from a few village roads which are tarred, the rest of the route consists of dirt jeep tracks and single trail, through forestry plantations, natural mountain grasslands and patches of indigenous bush. This particular route gives you just under 900m vertical gain in a little over 22kms.
