The 4th edition of the South African Highline Meeting will be hosted at De Pakhuys in Rocklands over the Easter weekend, 14-17 April 2017.
Details:
Several Highlines ranging from 20-65m long will be rigged and ready to walk. This year there’ll be some new lines up and also a space-net above the campsite. A training line for highlining techniques will help first timers learn the basics. Shorter slacklines will be up at camp too. We’ll also have a bunch of Waterlines over the dams for some fun in the sun!
Other activities include Climbing, Swimming, Hiking, Unicycling, Juggling, Tricklining, Rodeolining, Music etc…
Camping and Accommodation:
De Pakhuys Campsite will be the main area of activity, in close proximity to the Highlines (10min walk), lake (swimming and waterline), kitchen, bar, etc
Alpha Excelsior also has accommodation available, and a dam for swimming, slacklining and waterlining.
Traveller’s Rest is another accomodation option with a restaurant and slackline alongside a river.
