A perfect lookout point

Table Mountain from Tygerberg Hill

Table Mountain from Tygerberg Hill

Sunday, oh beautiful Sunday. At about 11h30 Kerry-Anne and I paid R10 each to take a walk up Tygerberg Hill. Although the top of Tygerberg Hill wasn’t crowded by any means, I never realised just how many people walk up for Sunday afternoon picnics.

The spring weather was absolutely perfect. No wind, not too hot, clear skies. If you haven’t taken a walk up this little bump rising above the Cape Flats, you really should. Pick a warm day with little wind, take some food along and spend an hour or two admiring the 360-degree views.

Take a look at this map; I’ve placed the cursor in the centre of the screen exactly where this lookout point is on Tygerberg Hill.

    Tygerberg hill nature reserve FTW! I walk up there regularly, I think I’ll go again this Sunday as well! You can see everything from up there! I also usually take my camera along and take some shots!

    I didn’t know you could go up there (you know what I mean). From where do you start?

    mjw, Someone else mailed me for a map, so I’ll post a route map in my next post… standby. :)

    Yes you have to drive what feels like a million turns through Welgemoed to get there :)

    I regularly take the wrong turn and end up lost, having to track my way back. I think I have it down now though.

    Sitting there with a glass of wine looking at that view seems very appealing..
