Dwars River – An Ultra Low Flow Scouting Mission

I had heard a lot of things about the Dwars but had never seen it myself. There are almost no photos of this river anywhere on the net except for one site which belongs to a professional photographer. As I had just moved to Cape Town I thought I would scout this river and see what all the fuss was about.

I left early that morning and stopped past the put in for another great creek, the Wit. Or Witte as it is also and probably more correctly known. I’d hiked the section above the normally run stretch with my sister in winter once but never the normal section. I would return the following week to hike the full length of the Wit but on this occasion I carried on down the twisty little road until I came across an idiot in a truck that could no longer continue down. He had not seen the warning sign with regards to height and after a very long time he managed to get his interlink trailer unhitched into the side of the mountain and we could pass.
