Hey Darren! Awesome hiking post and great photography.
This puts me in the mood to get some posts up of my own hiking I do with my family on the Silvermine Route in Cape Town, South Africa!
As for that turtle, I don't know, perhaps just a bit of "Pareidolia" going on there. It certainly has the shape of a turtle, but that's perhaps just a coincidence.
That lunch is great if a person knows food!
I see you have some amazing photography on your profile! Great job!
If I wanted to use an image of yours, could I ask you in a comment and credit you in the post?
