Itinerary description
|
Long route, leaving the Kloof Neck car park, and following the Pipe Track for 6 kilometers to the Corridor Ravine and up the latter.
Later we headed to Table Mountain with the intention of reaching the cable car for the descent. Nice walk with a multitude of landscapes and beautiful views for just over 5 kms via the Echo Valley and going up some stairs until you reach the cable car, with the bad surprise of finding it closed.
The solution ? Go down the Patteklip Gorge to Tafelberg Road and from there walk back to the Kloof Neck Parking.
In total, a longer route than the one initially planned, but a great satisfaction at the end, for having done an integral loop without using any vehicle, and my record of distance and positive slope (1346m)
Note: the total distance is reassessed, since on the descent of Patteklip Gorge my Garmin got confused which resulted in approximately 4 wrong kms in that section, with which the corrected total would be about 18 kms
