Weekend Trails in the Western Cape | Travel & Holiday Guides: General

Mike Lundy

Weekend Trails in the Western Cape is the first, and still the only, book on two-day hiking trils in the Western Cape – and most of them are within a two-hour drive from Cape Town. All 24 walks are ideal weekend escapes … and you don’t even have to take time off from work!

The book does much more than tell you about hiking from point A to point B. Fascinating nature notes and local history are adeptly woven into the descriptions of the trails. Valuable hiking tips are given on anything from menus and check lists to heavy-weather gear and the “ten commandments of mountain safety”. 

Mike Lundy’s undoubted expertise and love of the outdoors, coupled with his unique brand of humour, makes for such easy, enjoyable reading that you simply cannot wait to get into your hiking boots and follow in the footsteps of thousands of happy Lundy aficionados …

For this sixth edition Mike Lundy has, in co-operation with the Western Cape Nature Conservation Board, completely revised all information. Nature Conservation has also provided the stunning new cover photograph of die Hel in the Groot Wintershoek Conservation Area. For the second impression of the sixth edition, all inside photographs have been rescanned to improve the quality of the photo sections.
