GRADE 2B, SLOW PACE
We follow the Pipe Track in the direction away from Table Mountain. After rounding Woody Buttress we get to our route up the ascent path which is steep and requires a little short and easy scrambling here and there. It is shady for a large part of the ascent of about 350 metres. Once on top of the ravine we join the Pilgrim’s Trail and hike along it to Kasteelspoort which we descend to return to our starting point. The distance hiked is about 6.5 kms and the route takes about 4 hours depending on the group speed and the length of the snack break taken and any side excursions. The idea is to get back to the start by lunchtime.
Please earmark Sunday 1st of February as an alternative hiking day in case of predicted poor weather on the Sunday 25th January.
Bookings open 2 months before the hike. Bookings close the Friday before the hike at 18h00. No smoking on the hike.
