16 RATING | Nutcracker Cave |
|
|
Location:
Nutcracker Cave is situated in the same valley as Lakes Cave, about 2 km further down-river. It can be reached easily in a day from the Cobham campsite via excellent paths, and is therefore suitable for beginners.
Co-ordinates (WGS84 / dd mm.mmm):
S29 40.042 E29 20.179 at 1911 metres
Description:
Accommodation: 4(S) or 6 (W)
Nutcracker Cave is a relatively small cave. Because of the mud caused by spray from the adjacent waterfall in summer, it can only accommodate 4 people in that season, but in winter it can comfortably accept 6.
The origin of the name is unknown, but the cave does have a low roof!
|
4 COMFORT | This is a comfortable cave with a relatively level, sandy floor. |
|
5 WATER | There is a reliable stream just below the cave, and in summer the waterfall fills a small pond at the cave. |
|
2 POOLS | There are several small pools in the stream below the cave. |
|
3 SHELTER | The cave provides excellent shelter in winter, but in summer the spray from the waterfall can be a problem. |
|
2 OUTLOOK | The cave is east-facing. It offers a nice if uninteresting view across the valley, which is quite narrow at this point. |
