All hikers (members as well as visitors)
The club welcomes visitors to join any of our hikes. We request that you make contact with the leader who will advise you on the suitability of the hike based on your fitness level. Visitors to any of our hikes are asked to offer a nominal donation to the club. Currently the amount asked is R50 per visitor.

32 Price Drive, Constantia
We will start off walking through the dense canopy of the Vlakkenberg forest in this hidden jewel in Constantia, and meander along a free-flowing stream. Then go up to the top and around the Vlakkenberg peak, coming down the same way and returning through a different part of the forest. There is a short bit of scrambling where hands-on will be needed to get over some rocks.
