Join us for either the Cradock, George, or both peaks! - with an average of 18km out&back and approx 1300m elevation, you'd need to be quite fit&strong - this is a 7 to 10 hour outing with lots of climbing.
What to expect: A beautiful view over George, the Swartberg Mountains and the coast!
We will follow the Witfontein Middle contour route and from there proceed to the saddle between the two peaks. From there the team will split up to conquer their respective peaks. The teams will then merge again once back at the saddle. If you have entered for both peaks, then you will first summit George Peak and then proceed to Cradock Peak.
New friendships, camaraderie and great conversations between fellow hikers.
? Compulsary items: Suitable lightweight hydration-/backpack, sunscreen, hat, trail shoes, snacks & trail food that will keep you fueled, 2l 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 which comes in handy for chafing etc.
✨ Optional items:
Fingerless gloves, hiking poles, buffs, coffee.
♡ Meet at the Trail Kiosk in Camphersdrift Street at the top of Arbour Road, George (4h30-4h45).
