Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. Snakes must be among the most misunderstood and unfairly treated of all God’s creatures. They are commonly regarded as vermin which should be killed on sight, yet they occupy a most important niche in the ecosysytem. The balance of nature would be severely upset without any control on the population of rats, mice and other pests. A few fallacies about snakes that need to be exploded are:.

Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. The Lundy Grading Scale. Mike has used the simple but descriptive grading system successfully introduced in “Twenty Walks Around Hout Bay”. The Lundy Grading Scale. The effort needed to complete the walk is measured on a scale of 1 to 4 and is combined with a fear of heights rating (if the potential exists) on a scale of A to D. Exhausting and only for the very fit. No exposure to heights.

Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. The rugged mountains of the Cape Peninsula though rich in numerous plant species, do not support a wealth of bird-life. The barren rocky cliffs and exposed rocky outcrops provide little in the way of food or shelter, and it stands to reason that the few birds which are found there are well suited to the climate and habitat in which they live. Common Birds in the Cape Peninsula Mountains.

Swartkop – Smitswinkel Bay. Summer Hiking Dec2011/ Jan2012. Geoff Pitter’s 1977 challenge. The 1997 centenary run. There is more than a subtle difference between hiking, backpacking and mountaineering. Loosely speaking, a hiker carries a day pack and comes home at night. A backpacker carries his bed and a mountaineer is attached to his fellow climbers by rope – and preferably to the cliff face as well. It is all a matter of to what degree you wish to expose yourself. Rule No. 1:. Never wear nylon socks&#...
