What a treat! Scones with butter and deliciously tart home-made apricot jam. Baked and brought along by Marie and enjoyed by all on our misty Kalk Bay Mountain walk in Silvermine.

Explorations on foot in and around Cape Town
Welcome
Hi, I'm Helen. This blog is a record of the walks taken by me and my informal walking group. We try to get out as often as possible to the parks, beaches, reserves and wild places in and near our home-town: Cape Town, in the Western Cape, South Africa.

Lekker!!!
I have a question if anyone can please help ...If you want to go up kasteelpoort then do you turn towards your right or your left once the jeep track from theresa avenue hits the pipe track?
Any help will be most appreciated
Thanks
Hi Newbie,
You go left and then right. Although there is shortcut that will take you directly onto the Kasteelpoort path. Have a look at google earth.
Thanks
