Itinerary description

A cicular route that takes in 3 of the big five of Cathedral Peak Hotel recommended walks.

Starting with Ashley's Amble, then Mushroom Rock, Ribbon Falls and Doreen Falls.

Not sure why the track has a funny start (my uploaded file does not have it) - but the round trip is 11.5km from the EKZNW Hikers Parking at the CPH gate.
