Cape Town – Hoerikwaggo Trail
Last weekend, Amanda and I traveled to Cape Town. We are proud to say that we successfully completed the 5 day, 4 night Hoerikwaggo Trail from Cape Point to the top of Table Mountain. The whole trail was just over 70 km. We stayed in wonderful tented camps along the way which are run by the South Africa National Parks.
While hiking, we worked on the blog post together each night, and Amanda has posted the full recap of the trip so I will leave it at that for all the details.
Amanda’s full post can be found here.
All the photos from the trip are posted here.
UPDATE: We have also decided to release the full, unedited details of the trip (our notes we took each night). Anyone who is interested in more details can find them here.

Day five it rained a little and the low cloud cover made navigating the top of Table Mountain challenging. Despite the cooler than expected weather, we were quite content with the clothing and gear that we we brought and we were able to handle all the elements well. The terrific pictures Andy took will definitely show what nice weather and scenery we enjoyed. You can also read his post here. [...]
