Hi peeps. Apologies for definitely going over old ground and being to lazy to trawl through old threads.
Im thinking of going to rocklands in early July 16 for a month. I want to catch good cons so can any of you experienced folk tell me if that's a god time to go? Is it worth going a bit later?
Cheers
Tom

Also, any knowledge on needing a visa if going for over a month?

[SA Chris]

Yes, tourist visa covers you up to 90 days.

[TomP]

Nice one. So early July will be OK you think?

I've been once, first 3 weeks of August (2010). Folk trying harder stuff were whinging it had been (and was still) too hot. Not sure if earlier in July is better normally? It can rain. Best advice I had was to expect to take some rest days and head to Cape Town when the weather's crap. There's v little to do around Rocklands except climb.

Don't know, not been to Rocklands in July, might be worth checking with the local dom? H'es got a good long term overview.

Who's dom?
Cheers for knowledge so far. Sounds like it may be a bit out of season

May to August is pretty much prime season, but there's always the risk of both rain and warmth. It is a desert after all
