Taking on the Drakensberg in South Africa is not an easy task, I have been on many hikes in the Drakensberg and no amount of training has ever made it easy.
As it has been raining a lot here lately I will have to plan to do most of my training in doors. When its not raining I will go to an area where you walk down a mountain and back up. Best way to train for hiking is to hike. Sadly this in not possible, but I have a few options to try.

Stairs and lots of them, but I will be putting weights in a bag which i will have on may back while walking up and down these stairs. This I will do for 15 min 3 times a day. Each week I will increase the time.

There is a lovely road nearby where I can walk and jog up and down. So on days that it in not raining I will spend at least an hour walking/jogging up that hill and down it.
Anymore tips you have for me please put them in the comments below.
