Itinerary description
|
Circular route up Table Mountain .
The route starts at the Kirstenbosch garden where you can leave your car parked in the parking lot to make it safer.
Going up this side you have to pay the entrance to the garden to start the route.
There is a well-marked path that goes up to McClears Beacon from where there are spectacular views not only of the city of Cape Town but of the entire coast and surroundings.
Mc Clears Beacon is the highest point in all of Table Mountain .
Perfect GPS signal throughout the route (I've never had reception from so many satellites at the same time) except at one point on the way back where the rock walls caused the signal to be lost for a stretch. In any case, this section is by path and has no loss. The point where the signal is lost and where it is recovered are marked on the track with waypoints.
Absolutely essential route if you go to Cape Town.

Gracias por compartir la ruta, es preciosa. Tras haberla descargado y realizado, mi recomendación es corregir el nivel de dificultad ya que la catalogas como fácil y no lo es. Tanto la subida como la bajada por ambas vagudas tienen un fuerte desnivel y pueden ser peligrosas. El resto se hace sin problemas.
Una ruta preciosa y muy recomendable. Un saludo
