The Cathedral Peak Hotel (Google Earth KML) recently put a live weathercam online – featuring breathtakingly beautiful real-time views of the Drakensberg mountains, weather permitting (and occasionally hotel guests / visitors). *handshake* to whoever set up the camera (it updates between 7am and 6pm SAT).
I’ve visited the hotel many, many times but never actually stayed there overnight. It was a perfect starting point for many great hikes in my scouting days, and more recently a great day spot on holidays / visiting friends and family in the nearby campsite. I love those mountains and have spent many days up on the escarpment on multi-day hikes, including plenty of adventures and lifelong memories of stunning natural beauty, storms and dramatic weather and even snow on two occasions.
