November is National Hiking Month – have you done any hiking yet?😎🥾
Featured
Intro
The 17th of November was ‘National Hiking Day’ also known as ‘Take A Hike Day’. Since the 17th Nov was a Thursday we organised a hike for the 19th a Saturday as we would be off-duty. We were going to have two hiking groups viz. 11K and the 15K but Ella (the host for the 11k) went on strike… just kidding… Ella suffered an ankle injury whilst playing at a netball tournament the previous day and therefore was not able to make it. Have a speedy recovery Ella.
Following the good rains the Nature Reserve continues beautifully green. We were again very fortunate being able to see much game: blesbok, springbok, wildebeest and zebra.
A big thank you to the Hosts: David and Fatima. We were very fortunate to have Werner hiking with us who also brought his friend Bernt, both keen photographers. Thank you to Bernt, Tony and Werner for the photos and a big thank you to Taylor and to all who participated.

Our Next Walk and Hike
Join us on Sunday 4th Dec for a 5K Walk, 11K Hike or 15K Hike: a good workout, in great company and in beautiful surrounds
Date
Sunday, 4th December 2022
The JCP Entrance
We have been using the new JCP Entrance Precinct in the South of the Reserve for quite a while: -26.303725, 28.010931 (traveling up Peggy Vera Road, the new precinct entrance is immediately after the Klipriviersberg Recreation Centre on the right) – directions below.
What to Bring and Where We Meet
What to bring: Water (1L to 2L) and something to eat, a hat, sunblock, good shoes – and a camera to record the occasion! A degree of fitness will enable you to enjoy the hike or the walk.
This is a great workout (you will burn 1,500 calories on the 15 K hike and about 1,000 on the 11 K hike), in great company and in beautiful surrounds. You will also get a good dose of Vitamin D.
We start and end the walk and hikes at the South entrance to Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve on Peggy Vera Road (NOT the North entrance to the Nature Reserve).
As you drive up on Peggy Vera Rd the best is to look for Klipriviersberg Recreation Center (on the right). The entrance to the Nature Reserve is the next one also on the right.
Go through security and park your vehicle – should the parking area be full, you will have to park on the lawn area outside. After parking, walk towards the lappa type area. On the other side of the lappa you will see a patch of grass, a small pond and a small bridge with a big steel gate as well as toilet facilities. The meeting area is between the lappa and the pond.
Please note: We would love to have your company but… please DO NOT attend if you are with COVID or if you have had COVID in the past 7 days or have been in contact with a person with COVID in the past 7 days. Thank you very much for your understanding.
