What has taken us so long to walk Pipe Track, one of the best known hikes in Cape Town? According to Mike Lundy's book, "Easy Walks in the Cape Peninsula" its also one of the oldest with work starting on laying the pipeline in 1887.
The rain last night refreshed the mountain air, the Orange-breasted Sunbirds were out in numbers among the yellow proteas still in bloom along the path and we were serenaded by boubou's too. The path is undulating, at times rocky underfoot and has wonderful views of the Atlantic Coastline and the Twelve Apostles.
- Walking log: 16th January
An 11 kilometer return mountain path above Camps Bay, starting from the parking at Kloof Nek to the steps ascending Slangolie Ravine. Privilege to be out and about, lovely walk.
Total kilometres to date: 71
