Give the people a short description of your MicroAdventure.
We are a group of 8 friends with corporate jobs who decided to go fly-fishing in Lesotho. We wanted to go early in the year when the smallmouth yellowfish is still active in the clear-water rivers of Lesotho. We all invested in matching Patagonia caps for gees! #toerdrag

How do you get to the start? Please share some directions.
Some of us flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg, one guy flew in from London, and then we drove to Lesotho in 3 cars - entered from the Calendonspoort border.
