At midday we set off from the parking at Olifantsbos, Cape Point, to hike the 3 hour Sirkelsvlei trail.
I had followed the devastating Cape Town fires a few months ago but seeing the impact firsthand is shocking. The landscape is scorched, barren and still smells of a disused fireplace.
We did hike up and through the burn zone into fynbos which quite beautiful. The trail is rocky, sandy and undulating which made for a good challenging hike.
The interior vlei was a surprise as were the interesting rock arches along the route.
- Walking log: 1 May
8km Sirkelsvlei circular hike through the fynbos at Cape Point.
Strong walking, at times my feet slipped or twisted in my shoes but otherwise felt good.
Total kilometres to date: 793
