Departed and after a three hours’ ride reached Stephanus Ferreira’s between Strydom and the widow Oelofsen. Behind this place lies the clearly recognisable 6000 feet high peak.

Good weather but clouds in the south-east all afternoon and hazy on the southern mountains.
Climbed the mountain but could see nothing on account of the clouds.
Thermometer: 60-80-75.
