The Steenbras Nature Reserve forms part of the greater Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, one of the Western Cape’s most magnificent natural gems, and includes the popular Steenbras River Gorge and Crystal Pools hiking trail. Besides being a must-visit destination for avid hikers, thrill seekers and keen adventurers, the Steenbras Nature Reserve is well known for its unique biodiversity – with the area often being referred to as ‘the heart of the fynbos.’ Home to more than 1600 plant species, it boasts the greatest floral diversity per unit area than anywhere else in the world. The area supports five different vegetation types and is regarded as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. A visit to the Steenbras Nature Reserve undoubtedly deserves to be on every nature enthusiast’s bucket-list.
**Interesting fact: The area, now known as the Steenbras Nature Reserve, was originally proclaimed as a protected area in 1979 and was registered with UNESCO (United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1998 and declared an area of international importance.

An area worth the conservation.  Great views along the stream and up into the hills.

Sounds like you've had great fun.  Looking forward to the footage

Beautiful scenery and video

Some nice countryside there Droffarc.   

Impressive views of the Reserve.  That area does look like it could challenge hikers.  Superb job of flying and filming.

I must admit that I was tempted (by the little teufel on my shoulder) but the engel on the other shoulder said "What if"

Next time! That was a rather big gap :-)

Is that what you say in SA? "Teufel" and "engel"? Or are you just translating for me?

Never mind the size of the gap, what if I lose signal taking the gap

Very few people in SA will know those Teufel, but engel is an Afrikaans word for the same - being (as is English) a deriative of German/ Deutsh.

Why would you? You'd even be line of sight... If you watch my Ireland - Hook Head video to the end you'll see a loss of signal but there I was on the road leading to the bridge and had the full impact of the road and bricks and soil and that was too much. But even if you'd stand on the bridge and flew through below I'm pretty sure the signal would be stable....
Interesting about engel/angel...

Point taken BUT not from where I was positioned - oblique angle to the bridge

Nice video!
