Great Hikes in the Western Cape: Cederberg routes

http://greathikes.blogspot.com/2009/12/cederberg-routes.html

Great Hikes in the Western Cape. Sunday, 6 December 2009. This is about some of the more obvious routes in the Cederberg. One of the most well known routes is the Wolfberg cracks. It's so well known I'll give only a summary: go to Sanddrif, look up, and keep climbing the 1-in-1 slope till you get to the cracks about one or two hours later. To do this route in really. Forget the waterbottle - it's a dry route. By the way, the Wolfberg Cracks include some of the best rock climbs in the Cedarberg.

Great Hikes in the Western Cape: 2012 in review

http://greathikes.blogspot.com/2012/12/2012-in-review.html

Great Hikes in the Western Cape. Saturday, 29 December 2012. It's been a while: a long while since my last great blog post, and also quite a while since my last great hike. It's something to do with having a couple of kids who are too large and impatient for those put-the-kid-in-the-backpack devices, and too small and impatient for prolonged exertion. 2012 hasn't been completely barren hiking territory though. In January I joined the Scouts on a couple of one-day kloofing trips to Elandspad River.

Great Hikes in the Western Cape. Saturday, 29 December 2012. Jeep Track and Ash Valley. You know how it is in summer in Cape Town. Shortly after Christmas, someone says "let's go hiking!

Great Hikes in the Western Cape: Wit Els 2001

http://greathikes.blogspot.com/2010/06/wit-els-2001.html

Great Hikes in the Western Cape. Monday, 7 June 2010. While I'm on the subject of photos for Bruce. here are some photos a kloofing trip we did down the Wit Els, back in 2001. I can't quite believe it's been so long since I last went been down this magnificent river, but I'll be back one day. Pell's Hut, newly renovated. On the long descent from Waaihoek into the gorge. Disa Falls, and Bruce trying unsuccessfully to get a GPS signal. One of the swims, or perhaps one of the wades. The gang, or most of them.
