Voets Toets Hiking completed the 10km challenge. It's an advanced trail, which consisted of a lot of technical areas of navigation. Once at the top of the mountain, we were greeted by a beautiful ridge that made its way all along the side of the mountain. What a beautiful view of the valley! Even though it was cloudy initially, we were lucky enough to have had the clouds dissipate and the Harties view was our oyster! The Cape vulture is also resident to the mountain range, of which we were blessed to have seen. The trail is well marked and easy to follow.

Field Notes:
The advanced trail does require fitness and experience in hiking. A hiking stick and solid Merrell shoes are non negotiable. Due to rocky areas en route, it's imperative that you keep your attention focused on the trail ahead.
