Saturday, 17 to Tuesday, 20 October | Haweqwa – Kromrivier

Grade: 2+

Derek Odendaal | 076 292 2866 | derekrits@mweb.co.za

We will explore the mountainous area known as the Haweqwa, situated between Du Toits Kloof and Bains Kloof. The Paarl-Wellington Section has a hut in this area, known as the Kromrivier Hut. We will park our cars some distance from the old Du Toits Kloof Pass road, and walk about 3 km to the Hut, where we will sleep for 3 nights. Only 12 people can squeeze into this rather small hut, and only MCSA members can go.

We will drive there on Saturday the 17th, walk in during the afternoon and settle in. Over the next two days we will do day hikes from the hut to scenic places like Springstygbeugel (a MCSA property along the Witrivier in the Slanghoek Mountains), New Years Peak and The Cascades. On Tuesday, we will walk out and return home. The cost is R300 pp for the 3 nights in the hut. No load snorers allowed (inside the hut).

Please contact the leader by 1 September and pay before 15 September.
