Table Mountain Hike - India Venster

India Venster hike on Table Mountain has to be the best hike indeed. Definitely not for the faint of heart as this hike has claimed more lives than any of the other hikes. This is due to some of the vertical rock climbing that is involved. One slip....and it is carrots........

The shot below is of the magnificent city of Cape Town. with Robben island in the top left corner. Ruth and I lived in almost smack-bang in the centre of the picture along the 'green belt'...
It took around 2 hours to get to the top and this photo was at around 3/4 of the way up, under the cable car.

It says it is not an easy way down, but you should try going up.....

The gulley of Platteklip Gorge. Neither and easy way down or up.
