Chapman’s Peak and Rooikat Ravine day Hikes

In Term 3 we had 2 great Day Hikes.  For the first hike 12 Cubs went hiking at East Fort near Chapman’s Peak.  It was very cold to start with but then it warmed up.  We hiked in the Fynbos and past some waterfalls and then did a big panorama loop with beautiful views. On the way down we found some clay rocks which we ground down to make powder which we mixed with water to paint ourselves with.  It was a very fun hike.

For the 2nd hike we hiked in Cecelia Forest and did the Rooikat Ravine route.   There were also 12 Cubs for this hike.  We loved hiking up in the forest next to the cool river on a hot day.  Eventually we came out into the Fynbos with nice views, and we had a snack at a small waterfall.  Then we walked on to the big waterfall.  The hike was hard, but we enjoyed it a lot.  I hope we can do more hiking with Cubs.
