Officially this trail has been closed by Table Mountain National Park, but with some care it remains an exciting assent up the mountain, first to the lip of a 20 m waterfall and then up the river bed itself, above the falls (dry in summer). At the point where the gorge narrows and appears to reach a dead end, take a path up a series of ledges to the left.

This is an interesting little gem of a gorge which is not that well known due to its proximity to Newlands Ravine, which is the standard way up to the Saddle from the Contour Path. Care must be taken near the top, which is very steep and should not be attempted after rain.

A final search for "ingonyama" came to nothing. We found tracks suggesting that she and her cubs were sheltering in an impenetratable thicket of wattle .

A magnificent winter day, the temperature mild, the sun low but bright. We might take the car and leave Lisbon. But why, when these winter days make our city truly glorious? We just took our bikes, and when for a long, leisurely ride.You can find the photos in Flickr.
