Wat \u2019n plesierige berguitstappie vir \u2019n groep ervare stappers moes wees, het in \u2019n nagmerrie ontaard toe hulle verlede Saterdag (9 Julie) deur onweer oorval is, in die berg verdwaal het en een lid van die groep geval en \u2019n been gebreek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die groep van so ver as Kleinmond het Saterdagoggend vroeg by die Tokara-wynlandgoed in Helshoogte bymekaargekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van hier het hulle die uitdagende Simonsberg se B-roete, wat na die Simonsbergpiek lei, aangepak. Hierna sou hulle weer berg-af terug na Tokara stap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onder gewone omstandighede sou die roete binne sowat sewe uur voltooi word, maar 24 uur later was hulle steeds in die berg gestrand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die weer was eers sonnig, maar bewolk, en die groep was daarvan bewus dat re\u00ebn vir die aand voorspel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die stappers, Vera Bothma, het ges\u00ea alles het eers heel goed verloop toe hulle die beeldskone, dog uitdagende roete aangedurf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n baken gesoek wat ons rigting sou aandui, maar ons is oorval deur digte mis en kon dit nie opspoor nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie wind het ook erg begin waai en die sigbaarheid was baie sleg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens hierdie omstandighede was die groep, ten spyte van die teenwoordigheid van \u2019n opgeleide berg-gids, heel gedisori\u00ebnteerd, maar hulle het steeds van die berg probeer afkom totdat hulle besef het hulle betree nou gevaarlike terrein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die groeplede het daarin geslaag om \u2019n noodoproep te maak toe hulle in \u2019n gebied was waar hulle selfoonsein gehad het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierna is Wildernis-soek-en-reddingspanne (WSAR) die berg in op hul spoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bothma het ges\u00ea hulle het weens \u2019n swak selfoonsein gesukkel met kommunikasie met die reddingsmense om te verduidelik presies waar hulle is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het later donker geword, wat die soektog nog moeiliker gemaak het, en dit was nat en baie koud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het probeer om mekaar se gedagtes af te lei deur te sing en raai-raai-speletjies speel,\u201d het Bothma vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was \u2019n groot verligting vir die groep toe hulle die reddingspan se ligte sien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het hul fluitjie gehoor en hard daarop reageer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die reddingspan het die stappers in die donkerte en weersomstandighede na \u2019n grot in die berg gelei, waar hulle tot daglig oornag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die oggend het \u2019n tweede reddingspan hulle bygestaan met warm klere en \u2019n stofie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die aftog teen die berg af het die noodlot toegeslaan toe een van die vroue in die groep stappers op nat rotse gegly en 10 meter ver geval het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het \u2019n ernstig beenbreuk opgedoen en weer eens is nog \u2019n reddingspan ontbied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Voubed en bykomende reddingstoerusting is tot by die pasi\u00ebnt gedra, waarna sy sowat 150 m afgehys is tot by \u2019n punt waar reddingspanne haar die res van die pad kon dra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die beseerde stapper is uiteindelik om 21:30 na \u2019n hospitaal geneem vir verdere behandeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n stapper het hipotermie opgedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bothma het ges\u00ea dit was \u2019n vreesaanjaende staptog teen die berg af omdat die rotse glad en nat en die roete plek-plek modderig was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Woordvoerder van Wildernis-soek-en-redding het bevestig dat hulle op \u2019n noodoproep gereageer het en sy spanne is Saterdagaand laat na Simonsberg om die groep te gaan red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het die groep se roete gevolg en hulle eindelik n\u00e1 02:20 naby die kruin van die berg opgespoor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Te midde van stormagtige weerstoestande het die groep Sondag om 08:30 die staptog na veiligheid begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bothma en die res van die stappers het hul dank en waardering uitgespreek aan almal betrokke by die WSAR wat hulle so spoedig en professioneel bygestaan het met die reddingspoging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bothma s\u00ea n\u00e1 die skrikwekkende ervaring dit is uiters belangrik dat enigiemand wat die berg aanpak, aan sekere vereistes moet voldoen:. <\/span>Doen goeie navorsing en beplanning vir die roete vooraf..<\/span> Maak seker van die weersomstandighede..<\/span> Die gids behoort homself van die roete te vergewis en die roete nie langer as een maand voor die staptog nie self afl\u00ea om seker te maak van die omstandighede in die omgewing..<\/span> Bepaal ook die vermo\u00ebns van die stappers en neem daarvolgens besluite..<\/span> Elke stapper moet verantwoordelik wees vir sy eie toerusting en toesien dat hy warm klere het (al begin die dag warm), sowel as basiese noodhulptoerusting, genoeg water en rehidrasievloeistof, dro\u00eb sokkies, \u2019n fluitjie en basiese noodtoerusting. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wat \u2019n plesierige berguitstappie vir \u2019n groep ervare stappers moes wees, het in \u2019n nagmerrie ontaard toe
