Grade 3C

A classic route under the cable car with outstanding views to the north. The route is great for hikers who are looking to extend their scrambling abilities beyond a B+. There are some tough parts to scramble up, some exposure and at one point a step over. Having a head for heights is essential. Be prepared for a 700m elevation gain. This hike will be done at a medium pace. The descent will be via Platteklip Gorge, or via the Cable Car if you prefer (R70 for over 60s, R280 for others).

As this is on a long weekend, please earmark both Saturday 14th June, and Monday 16th June as alternative hiking days in case of predicted poor weather on the Sunday. 

No smoking. Bookings close by Friday 18h00

A tough but rewarding hike with fabulous views. This hike starts at Coetzenberg in Stellenbosch, so the approach is from the North.

The Wembley Roadhouse in Belgravia Road, Athlone, is a not-to-be-missed local favourite and an institution! Serving up a bewildering variety of curries, samosas, grills and Indian street food; popular for satisfying late-night cravings and best known for their famous Wembley Whopper. The hardest part of visiting Wembley is to decide what to eat! The menu is mouthwatering, and their generous portions make a visit totally worth it.
But there is a lot more than first meets the eye... after placing your order, go for a stroll/shopping spree in their supermarket (“the world under one roof”), meat market (“the art of meat”) and amazing bakery (“indulge in decadence”). You are guaranteed to find some real gems at this Halal family stable of stores.

There is roadhouse style seating indoors, or their fantastic enclosed private garden to enjoy our takeaways and savor the taste whilst catching up with fellow ComeHike members. 

Own cost, own transport. Parking available across the road.
