There are a few short hiking trails in this area - and since you're so close to the city, it's quite difficult to get very lost. Take at least a litre of water along per person, a warm top, and a pair of closed shoes. Also, hike in groups of three or four... our nature borders on a city, after all.
Save, and keep handy, the Mountain Club of South Africa's number (+27 21 937 0300) as well as the number for crime-related incidents (+27 86 110 6417) on your mobile phone. Those numbers may come in super handy some day. There are a few other numbers here, but they seem to be two individual's personal mobile numbers, so I'll rather just link to the MSCA page.

Was there earlier this week, by accident, and had to wait along the road for a Bollywood film production to complete their collection of the scenery whilst the actress drove a TVR. A nice car but unreliable, high risk for such a road without crash barriers! :)

Post authorA TVR? Interesting. I assume she wasn’t racing it around the bends though? :)
