Join us for Peak #4: Tierkop – with 11km out&back, and approx 571m elevation, you’d need to be reasonably fit – this is a 4 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 Tolbos Building (6am-6h15) on Saasveld, on the left.
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 for 2,6km. At the split take the slight right. Tolbos building is 750m further, on the left.
