Join us for Peak #4: Tierkop - with 13km out&back, and approx 600m elevation, you'd need to be reasonably fit - this is a 4 to 5 hour outing. What to expect: Views over a huge part of George, lots of beautiful fynbos, proteas, birdlife and a cave! New friendships and great conversations between fellow hikers. And you would have conquered the fourth peak of the pack and collect your token! ? Compulsary items: Suitable lightweight hydration-/backpack, sunscreen, hat, comfortable shoes, something to eat, enough water. Lightweight windproof jacket/fleece, beanie and gloves depending the weather. (We will aim to postpone the hike in the case of rain, but a waterproof jacket might be a handy kit item). Best to always dress in layers. Space blanket, emergency energy bar/trail food, bandage, small petroleum jelly comes in handy for chafing etc. ✨ Optional items: Fingerless gloves, hiking poles, buffs, coffee. ♡ Meet at Groeneweide parking area; Saasveld campus of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in the Garden Route town of George. (6am-6h15). How to get there: Turn onto the Saasveld/Seven Passes road out of Courtenay Road in George (At the Pine Lodge Conference Centre). Follow this road for 5km exactly and then turn left into Saasveld at the sign. Once you have entered the campus grounds follow the paved road until your reach the second road to your right. Turn right there (at the Soccer field) and follow the road around to the right and past the cricket field on your left. There's a small parking area on the right as well as a public toilet. ♡ Hike starts strictly at 6h30. ♡ Enjoy a light picnic lunch with us after the hike (optional). The peak challenge hikes are strictly donation based.
