Lovely walk this morning from Otium Oasis Glamping along the Barber's Trail with a group of 12 ladies from Cape Town area.
The ladies celebrated their ascent of Haarkappers Peak with a bottle of bubbly opened by Sabrage using my knife in lieu of a sabre (it was only partly successful, I think an actual sabre or at least a bigger knife would've been more successful).
The thoroughly enjoyable hike was topped off with a superb meal at De Poskantoor restaurant in Tesselaarsdal.

With so much alien vegetation taking over the Kleinerivier Mountains, particularly Hakea Sericea (Needle Bush, Silky Hakea), much of the pristine fynbos is being lost to future generations. In many places the Hakea has formed an impenetrable forest covering many hectares.
I'm looking for willing people who would like to get involved in restoring the Tesselaarsdal mountains to their former glory, by forming a Hacking Club, where we can get together perhaps one Saturday a month, every month, for a few hours, and tackle this problem hands on.
Only requirements are a willingness to help save the fynbos and bring whatever cutting equipment you have : pangas, bow saws, chainsaws, and thick strong gloves (that hakea is rather thorny), plus bring some sustenance for yourself.
Many hands make light work.
Help save our mountains.
Those interested and willing to help can contact me via DM.

The weather was closing in at the final completion of building this newest addition to the Tesselaarsdal Hiking Trails on Sunday.

27/08/2024

The newest addition to the Tesselaarsdal Hiking trails is complete.
This trail is by kind permission of the relevant landowner and as such is only accessible as a guided prebooked hike through Hikers Addiction .
It follows an old jeep track up to a ridge then along a newly cut trail meandering across a plateau up to a remarkably coloured orange tinted rock face with weirdly shaped rocks looking like gargoyles, faces and animals. The trail then takes the hiker along the base of the rock face and up to the top of the peak where one can sit in the shadow of a magnificent ancient stone Cairn, with the world spread before you at your feet. The view stretches all the way to the sea at Walker Bay and as far as Danger Point on a clear day, to the South. One also looks out towards Sandys Glen and the Akkedisberg Pass to the south east.

Spring is on it's way and the fynbos is beginning to explode with the vibrance of it's unique beauty.
Don't miss out on this once off opportunity to catch a hike with our guides, who have elected to waver their usual guiding fee, in order to showcase the splendour of the Tesselaarsdal mountains, by taking you on a memorable outing on the trails.
