Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. Snakes must be among the most misunderstood and unfairly treated of all God’s creatures. They are commonly regarded as vermin which should be killed on sight, yet they occupy a most important niche in the ecosysytem.

Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. The Lundy Grading Scale. Mike has used the simple but descriptive grading system successfully introduced in “Twenty Walks Around Hout Bay”. The Lundy Grading Scale. The effort needed to complete the walk is measured on a scale of 1 to 4 and is combined with a fear of heights rating (if the potential exists) on a scale of A to D. Exhausting and only for the very fit. No exposure to heights.

Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. The rugged mountains of the Cape Peninsula though rich in numerous plant species, do not support a wealth of bird-life.
