Take a Hike

 

Leave Nothing but Footprints, Take Nothing but Pictures
Kill Nothing but Time

In Cape Town we are blessed with beautiful summers, and there is nothing like a view from the top. There is a huge following of hikers in Cape Town and personally, it is one of my favorite pass times, in fact it I love it so much that I don’t even see it as exercise, but rather a fun activity to do over the weekend. Hiking is unlike any other form of exercise, besides it being good for your body, the views you get to see with your own eyes are breath taking. There is nothing like reaching the top and looking down on the mountain you have just conquered.

There a many beautiful hiking trails in Cape Town, and it doesn't matter where you live, chances are there is a beautiful hiking trail around the corner. My personal favorite hike is; Constantia Neck. Constantia Neck was my first hiking trail, and I still conquer that hike twice a month. There is more than one trail, some are easier than other, so it just depends on the mood you are in, you are welcome to go as high as your body and your mind can take you. The fresh air is refreshing, it is the best way to start your day, and there are plenty of ideal spot where you can have breakfast and enjoy the view at the same time.

Chapmans Peak is another great one, offering you space to cycle up if you want, it’s a little more challenging than Constantia Neck but the view is worth your struggle, overlooking Hout Bay and Seal Island, there are picnic spots set out for your relaxation as many people make their way up in the evening, just in time to watch the sunset.
