Trail Running paradise


Swaziland was designed for trail running, it has some serious mountains, remote areas and plenty of tracks and trails. And if you search just a little bit - you'll find places like Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary where you can run to your heart's content.


Ngulube went on a burn around what is part of the Imvelo MTB route which took in the Rock of Execution, nyonyane and a few other peaks. All told, the climbing alone was in excess of 700m. On foot that's a fair bit, but the real pain is no free wheeling down. However, Ngulube is in training for the Swazi xtreme http://www.swazixtreme.co.sz/, for the sport event this year - should be a hoot, but tough.


Looking forward to the Imvelo MTB race! Apparantly all the accommodation is just about sold out - great for tourism.
