In April 2014 we hiked for 3 days in the Groot Winterhoek. Despite a lot of discussion about the weather and some tentative forecasts we started from Veepos somewhat later than planned. After wishing Andrew Knight happy birthday for his 17th birthday (and eating muffins instead of cake) we set off on the long route …

Oudekraal Ravine Day Hike
In June 2013 we did a day hike to find and ascend Oudekraal Ravine. As it worked out we ascended Corridor Ravine, visited Tranquility Cracks and descended Oudekraal Ravine. Given the state of the Ravine, it was the right choice. Visit the 2013 Photo Gallery and read the the report on the Oudekraal Day Hike.

The Cape Point Overnight Hike is a fantastic hike for a weekend but it has a long day in it and in summer it could be scorchingly hot; conversely in adverse winter weather it is very exposed for most of the day. The route can be done in either direction. The hike starts at the …
