GRADE 3A+, MEDIUM PACE
Max 12. Starting at East Fort in Hout Bay, the trail zigzags up past the old manganese mine. After about an hour of steep climbing, the trail levels out a bit and we follow the contour path towards Vlakkenberg (Alfie's path). The trail crosses over to Vlakkenberg and joins the Hoerikwaggo Trail. Finally, there is a fairly steep ascent of Vlakkenberg before descending 300 m to Constantia Nek with distracting views of the ziplining over Silvermist Estate. The route is well-trodden, easy to navigate and rated as moderately difficult - mostly uphill and downhill. We will have good views of Hout Bay as well as the Back Table.
We'll need to do some car shuttling/Uber between Constantia Nek and Hout Bay.
