Summer months really too hot to hike into the day, beautiful region we visited regularly when young going April/May to witness the cosmos in bloom, Poplar trees turning gold ready for winter.
When you plan to return go during cooler part of the year enabling hikes a little later into the day there is a lot to explore in the region.

Yes, we wanted to go in April in 2020 but Covid hit. So we had to postpone it until now. But I completely agree!
It is strange weather though. Once we went in December and it was -1°C.
Zues has been throwing all his furniture around upstairs with crazy storms here.
Experienced Christmas day wrapped up in jackets one year is was that cold in Durban, Berg no matter which region can drastically change.
Winter walks for me that wee bit safer, no (not as many) snakes hanging around in thick green grass...., downside is tall yellow grass has tick patches, pick your poison 🙃
Yes it is really crazy the sudden changes in weather!
I completely agree. We have done two hikes last year in the summer where we have seen snakes. It can get really dangerous if you are far from people or if you have no signal.
Always walk with a stick no matter time of year, bush wack to alert anything that moves 🙂
Definitely! My mother always drags a walking stick behind her so that the vibrations scare the snakes away.
Haha, I hit the bush ahead check under lumpy grass that cover a path or fallen branch, stick has been effectively to pole vault directly up and land a few feet away from said slithering snake on top of mountain at Cathedral Peak in month of February.....
Oh my word! I also had a similar experience when I was little. My father picked a lengthy branch from the bush and a snake slithered away. At first he told me it was a frog so that I would not be scared, but afterwards he told me that it was a snake!
