Hike #23: The Steenbok Flower Trail
A few years ago, Alison was lucky enough to gatecrash a party of well-organised hikists who had booked permits for the Steenbok Trail in the West Coast National Park

Hike #15: Tweede Waterval Trail, Jonkershoek
We decided to wake up early and drive to Stellenbosch to hike the Tweede Waterval Trail in Jonkershoek
