 A first-hand account from the victims of a mugging on 21 March 2013. This is the first time I am hearing of this, more than 2 months later, demonstrating that crime is ongoing in TMNP but is not being reported to the public. Please spread word of this. And be careful out there. [...] News via Climb ZA is that 7 new routes have been bolted on a small crag just below Silvermine Main crag. The new routes range in grade from 17 to 23 and the crag has been dubbed Silverminor. [...]  The truly unpredictable Cape Town December weather did not play too much of a role in the past month’s activities, with the sun pretty much coming to the party each time! [...]  I recently went up to the Silvermine Reservoir to do some open-water swim training for February’s Xterra Triathlon. I was pleased to see that a handsome new ablution block has been constructed next to the parking lot at Silvermine Reservoir. [...]  Slingsby’s range of hiking maps are the best you will find, detailing plenty of hikes, and offering plenty of additional information, adding to your safety and enjoyment of each area. [...]  This hike offers spectacular views of False Bay, Noorhoek Beach, Chapman’s Peak, The Sentinal, Hout Bay and Hout Bay Harbor. Getting there: park at the reservoir parking lot at Silvermine.

Cross the wall, [...]  Stunning bolted routes at Silvermine — loads of fun with great views! [...]  This easy walk starts and finishes at the Silvermine Reservoir. It follows a jeep track all the way. There are well appointed braai areas around the Reservoir, and you can braai or picnic after your walk (your car is just 100m up down a boardwalk) – and enjoy a dip in the stunning water of the Reservoir. [...]  This is an easy walk that offers the added benefit of starting and ending at the Silvermine Reservoir which is perfect for a picnic and a refreshing swim. The deck offers unparalleled views of Hout Bay and The Sentinel. [...] |
