GRADE 3A+, MEDIUM PACE
Join Alma on her debut hike as a guest hike leader in Cape Point Nature Reserve. In an adaptation of Mike Lundy’s 2 Oceans circuit, we will start and end at a tidal pool for a refreshing post-hike swim.
The route will take us from Buffels Bay picnic site through a lovely pincushion forest, up to Rooikrans viewpoint, then down and along the rocky coast to the Cape of Good Hope. Once there, we take the boardwalk past Diaz Beach to the Cape Point parking area and then up a lovely little scrambly bit (easy even for us shorter folks) to Vasco da Gama Peak.
Then we go back past the Rooikrans viewpoint and along the coast (including some fun rock hopping) to the tidal pool, by which point we should be sweaty enough to enjoy our swim, even if it is windy!
The total distance is 16 km, so endurance is necessary. Entrance to the park is R110 for South African adults with ID, or free with a Wild Card.
Helen Gosnell will join the hike as a support hike leader. Please RSVP to Helen.
Bookings close 2 days before the hike at 18h00. No smoking on the hike.
