Pipe Track with Kasia Szymanski-Coetzee

This walk starts at the junction of Tafelberg Road and Kloof Nek.  The Pipe Track is precisely what it says - a path constructed to service a pipeline running below the series of peaks known as the Twelve Apostles.   This pipeline was built to carry water from Disa Gorge in Table Mountain's Back Table, via the Woodhead Tunnel through the mountain in Slangolie Ravine to the Molteno Reservoir in Oranjezicht to help slake the thirst of the booming late 19th. century Cape Town.  In several places the path is very stony, but it is an easily accessible and popular walk, with many locals making regular use of certain sections;  it is part of the Atlantic Seaboard way of life..
