On the morning of 9 January 2016, a group of 16 of us from the Gantouw Hiking Club<\/a> hiked from the Newlands Fire Station<\/a> in the Newlands Forrest<\/a> on a circular route past Rhodes Memorial<\/a> that brought us back to the Fire Station.<\/p>\n

As can be seen from the route board there is various routes one can take:

After some deliberation, a route was picked and we set off.

The route was about 10km which took us about 3 hours to walk. \u00c2\u00a0The start was at 96m and the highest point that we reached was 470m. \u00c2\u00a0The hike is mostly in the shade under the forrest trees. \u00c2\u00a0It is a very gentle hike. \u00c2\u00a0Here is the route from Runkeeper<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0that we completed.

After the hike we went to the Rhodes Memorial Restaurant<\/a> for some well deserved drinks. \u00c2\u00a0Photagraphs taken with my Canon Powershot SX20 IS<\/a>.<\/p>\n
