Suicide Gorge
I first kloofed down Suicide Gorge in the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve many years ago. It’s a great adventure if you are not too afraid of heights!

Boesmanskloof Hiking Trail
This trail is commonly referred to as the Greyton — McGregor Trail. I have run it as it is the route of the Bushman’s Blitz Trail Run (starting and finishing on the Greyton side) and since hiked it in the standard 2-day format (starting and finishing on the McGregor side).

Matroosberg Peak
We hiked from the Ski Hut up to Matroosberg Peak in the Matroosberg Private Nature Reserve. At 2249m, this is officially the highest peak I have summited to-date!
