Champagne Castle - Souladventures.wmv
It is said that when two intrepid mountaineers, David Gray and Major Grantham, climbed the peaks directly in front of Cathkin, they were about to celebrate their long haul by popping a bottle of champagne. But as fate would have it, the guide dropped the bottle on a rock -- and in that moment Champagne Castle in the heart of uKaHlamba (Barrier of Spears) was christened.
