008 – Paardeberg to Rocky Outcrop (7km / 405m Elev)

009 – Mont Rochelle to Dutoitskop (8km/ 750m Elev)

Mont Rochelle had been on my list for a few weeks. A friend had suggested one of the lower peaks as a great spot for a radio setup, but since the actual summit (Dutoitskop) was a SOTA summit I decided...

010 – Table Mountain Fernwood Circuit – (10km / 300m Elev)

Sometimes it is good to go back to basics. It doesn’t always have to be summit conquests or never before explored trails. The trails on the Eastern side of Table Mountain are as diverse as the people...

012 – Cape Point (Paulsberg & Vasco da Gama Peak) 14.5km 540m Elev

013 – Miaspoort Trail to Hugenot Tunnel Survey Beacon (10.7km / 800m Elev)

Let me begin by saying that this was a bad idea. I had decided to climb a mountain and then hike to a survey beacon with no paths to it, alone, on a day with heavy fog. Everything turned out fine in...

014 – Table Mountain (5km Micro-mission to Maclear’s Beacon)

015 – A QRP micro-mission in Montagu (2km / 150m elevation)

The wife took part in a crazy 155km gravel race in Montagu that almost everyone dropped out of due to the 42 degree heat, but her and three others finished. #machine I took the morning after as an...

016 – Klein-Drakensteinkop (17.5km, 950m Elev)

Most often my hike planning consists of me frantically scrolling through Google Earth on a Friday morning looking for an interesting summit that’s in the Goldilocks zone of my abilities. Something less...

Quick Update Post

It’s been a long time since my last post and between work and hiking, I’ve not had much time to write these posts. I’ve also not done any big hike quite worthy of its own post, so this is just a quick...
