A wonderful walk out in the Goromonzi district. The grass was rather a bit tall, which meant that we had to 'bush wack' quite a bit. Stunning views.

Choconana Muffins on the Mountains
A recent article that was Written By Jackie Collins that featured in the zimtrader! Mountain club gets famous :D
185g cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 medium bananas
160g sugar
1 egg, beaten
80ml oil
100g dark chocolate
60 mls milk if necessary
Turn on the oven to 180° and grease muffin tin. Chop up the chocolate; this is the hardest part of this recipe. It is a bit of a fag, but it is much better than grating it. At this stage I usually hide the chocolate in a covered bowl as invariably the children come in wanting a taste and it quickly disappears. The melted chocolate in these muffins makes them taste really yummy and as a bonus you then do not have to worry about icing the muffins because they are delicious on their own.
Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. Mash bananas and then combine with sugar, beaten egg and oil. Mix well. Add sifted dry ingredients, chocolate and milk, if necessary. Mix until just combined. Spoon into muffin tins and bake at 180° for about 20 minutes.

Sorry guys, has been a long time since last post. This was a recent trip to Masungwa, which is just beyond Ngomakurira. A stunning walk (once you get to the top)
We were very lucky with the weather, and were watching the rains in the distance.

Macheka Cave, near Murehwa, Zimbabwe, wonderful caves with san paintings and views over waves of granite monoliths
The climb was steep and grueling, but well worth the effort.
The View from the cave and the route that 16 of us went up to the other side. the rest decided to take a more medium impact walk.
The Cave Painting were in very good condition.
The route that the ones that dared was to the right. Not for people with fear of heights.
All in all a wonderful day.

Cross kopje
Start: 1:15
Number of people: 15
Leader: Jenny
Location: S 17° 31.237 E 031° 13.418
The walk was divided up into two different walks, jenny leading the medium to high impact walk which was to Cross Kopje and Barbara leading a low impact walk to a different part of the walk. So for cross Kopje walk there were about 6 of us on the walk and the rest went with Barbara on the low impact walk.
The last time that i was on this walk was last year and they were doing some blasting. So walking up this time is was clear what had been done with all the blasting. They have now erected a cell tower just behind the cross and the road that leads up to it. So for the most part, we followed the road up and only at certain parts did we bush wack.
Once we were up, the view is stunning as always and the air conditioning turned on perfectly :)
On our way up there was threat of a thunder shower in the distance, but luckily all that we felt of it was a few drops.

Bambazoko
Number of walkers : 6
This was an exploratory walk. The mountain we climbed was. Just a bit further than gandimi. Took us little while to figure out which one it was, but with the help of GPS and the good old map, we found the correct one.
The climb up was quite steep, but the view amazing as always.
