"Have never stayed in a glass house before. Enjoyed it."

The weather was wet and very cold. The road up was eroded and muddy. Our Jimny handled it with ease. We were kindly escorted by Anthony. If we had done it on our own we would have had the following potential problems: 1) Getting lost ─ I strongly suggest a small marker of some sort (Yellow dot on a pole) every 200m just so one knows one has not taken a wrong turn. I understand that one does not want to disturb the natural environment but seeing as the is already a deeply rutted muddy track across the veld, I don't think a few small markers will make much of a difference. 2) Distance ─ as above ─ I think it's important to have signs every 500m or every km showing how far to the destination. 3) The braai filled with water during the rain ─ not a problem for us but might be a problem for you when it rusts. 4) A small shelf in the bathroom would be useful. Sometimes we need to lift the toilet seat. 5) A clothes rack to hang coats would be useful. 6) A portable emergency rechargeable light would be useful. 7) A little more wind sealing would be nice but it's hard to know where the leaks are unless one is up there during high winds. Just as an indication, on the first two nights of our stay, the binds were being blown sideways by the wind coming through the doors and the windows (forecasted 35kph ─ I think more than that). We took it as part of the adventure but we wore a lot of layers and used a lot of firewood. I am not a wuss and I have been in many cold and windy and desolate places. As a new guest, one has no sense of direction and has no idea how much further to go and whether road conditions will get tougher or not. If Anthony is escorting, none of this is a problem, but it is a significant drain on his time and on diesel and wear and tear. Next time I will obviously do it on my own.
