Freedom awaits! With the Eastern Cape Highlands ahead of us, attempting the Ben 10 Eco Challenge has been on my wish list for a while and now it was time to actually experience it for myself! After wild camping above Lady Grey, we aired down and hit the trail. We would end up sleeping on the Bastervoetpad Pass, where the wind would make us question everything. The next day we would find respite at the Steepside camp, under a willow tree, with hot water and ablutions.
