Drip disa hike with Helen Gosnell

GRADE 3B+

A circular route hiking up Cecilia Ridge, through the aqueduct to see the drip disas that will hopefully be in season and then back down Skeleton Gorge. On the way up we will take the lesser-known scrappy but beautiful shortcut up Rooikat Ravine. Both the way up and the way down requires scrambling and comfort with steep, sandy paths. The route is fairly strenuous with 840m elevation gain. It is a long day out and it is nice to take time slowly walking through the aqueduct so the pace will need to be fairly steady before and after the aqueduct.

Please earmark the Saturday as an alternative hiking day in case of predicted poor weather on the Sunday.

Bookings open 2 months before the hike. Bookings close the Friday before the hike at 18h00. No smoking on the hike.
