  • Central Cederberg

GRADE 3A+, MEDIUM TO SLOW PACE

Max 12 hikers. If you’ve always wanted to try multi-day hiking but didn’t know where to start, this is for you! You will be mentored through the entire process - from packing your rucksack correctly to choosing the best trail snacks and sharing gear.

We will supply a full kit list, suggest cooking methods, and offer suggestions for foods and snacks. We will walk you through the preparation and packing process and we will facilitate the sharing of equipment with others in the group. We will discuss the correct way to pack a rucksack and check that the rucksack is set up correctly.

On Friday we will hike 11.6km from the Forestry Station to our campsite under the oaks (with swim stops!). On Saturday we will stroll a relaxed 3.1km to the famous crystal-clear pools at Die Hel for a day of exploring the valley and swimming. Then, on Sunday, we will hike a scenic trek back to the cars, including swim stops.

Cost: Permit and conservation fees applicable (tbc.)

The deadline for signing up is 17 April.
