Sweeping beauty of Walker Bay


Installation art, 'Nest", Hermanus

We love the Cliff Path that follows the sweep of Walker Bay along the cliffs of Hermanus.

The challenge today was to walk from the car park at Grotto Beach all the way to the pier at the Harbour.

Fred was most bemused when the distance was a few meters more than 10 kilometres.

A fabulous walk.

The weather just right and the sea air rich with ozone. The waves were huge, the tide was coming in so we had wonderful views from the path of sprays many meters high.

Apparently the first whales have been seen but I was not scanning the the bay, I was looking close in, at the coastal vegetation, the birds, the dassies, the homes along the path and listening to the Clicking Stream Frogs.

I was pleased to see that the piece of installation art that I like, called 'Nest', is still in place.

Bev introduced Circle to The Bistro, Just Pure, so Fred and I stopped along the walk for a kick arse coffee and croissants.

  • Walking log: 16th May
20 km walk from Grotto Beach to the Harbour and back. Great walking and felt strong.

I did have to get up at 3am however for a Cataflam, my feet and legs were throbbing and made for a restless sleep.

Total kilometres to date: 931.5
