This was one of the stops on The Great Chase Adventure, be on the lookout for more footage from the day!
We had a super time at our recent The Great Chase Adventure!
We started the morning at Rovos Rail with some great sunrise shots, later we repositioned ourselves along the mainline at various points.
This is what we mean by "Chase" and adventure in the event's name, as we rush to the next photo location - navigating traffic and muddy roads alike! What an adrenaline rush!
At all our events we give our participants freedom to get the shots they want. You will see we zoom past one of our participants - Ian Morison, who decided to try for a different shot further down the line. We coordinate this by using a dedicated WhatsApp group so no one is left behind.

The Ceres Mountaineer is a 2-day photographic charter with CRC that takes place on the Wolseley - Prince Alfred Hamlet branch line using ex-SAR 19B #1412 and a train consist resembling that from the 1970s.
We start bright and early on Saturday 18 June 2022 at 07h00 at Demeter station and travel down the scenic Michell's Pass to Wolseley. On return, the train will spend the morning in Michell's Pass for a morning of photography and then in the early afternoon travel the more rural Demeter to Prince Alfred Hamlet section.
After a day spent on the branch line, on Saturday evening, we enjoy a delicious meal in CRC's dining car followed by an evening of night photography which will include staged scenes with the locomotive and crew - so bring your tripod along!
Sunday morning finds us on a pre-dawn departure to Prince Alfred Hamlet, then later, a return down the pass for more photography. A lunchtime layover at Demeter allows the train to be prepared for a single journey to Cape Town in the afternoon (passengers taking the full experience are automatically included on this return journey should one wish to ride the train back to Cape Town).
