Sundays proposed walk to Elsie's Peak

The weather looks very good for Sunday - no rain and not too much wind. So shall we try and do Elsies Peak before the hot summer sets in.

It should be quite a long walk at the pace we go! We can meet at our house at 7.15 and all go from there as we will need two cars make the most of the walk - leaving one at the Jonkers Dam parking on Glencairn Expressway and the other in Golconda Road in Glencairn Heights.
Take note - we have never done this walk so I can't vouch for it!

The Amphitheatre Path, Silvermine

Sundays Silvermine Stroll - from the dam, along the Amphitheatre Path and around with an option to go to the viewpoint over Blackburn Ravine.

Sundays proposed walk up the Karbonkelberg

See Shirley's A walking guide for the Hout Bay to Simonstown mountains, page 8, Walk 1 "Karbonkelberg and Suther Peak."Apparently there are lovely satyrium orchids flowering now - Satyrium coriifolium and S. carneum.

Whale-spotting hike up Swartkop Peak

Start at top of Jan Smuts Drive, Simonstown, above Seaforth - off Churchill Ave.

For more on the walk, see A Walking Guide for the Hout Bay to Simon's Town Mountains by Shirley Brossy. Walk no 41: Swartkop and Blockhouse Gap, page 94-5. Should take about 4 hours with tea. It is quite a steep, but not difficult, route.
