  Features the top 12 hiking routes of the Western Cape region. The trails covered include the Cederberg Heritage Route, the West Coast Crayfish Trail, Whale Trail (De Hoop Nature Reserve), Boland Hiking Trail, Hoerikwaggo Tented Classic (Table Mountain), Swellendam Hiking Trail, Postberg Wild Flower Trail, Oystercatcher Trail (Mossel Bay), Otter and Tsitsikamma Trails. Each chapter contains a detailed contour map of the trail. Information includes location map, detailed legend, trail route walked and alternative routes, peak heights and names, difficulty rating, distances in kilometres, GPS points for overnight stops and camps. The author provides an overview of each route and its history along with a day-by-day description of the route walked and a summary. The book includes mountain bike routes in the vicinity detailing the trail name, distance, time taken to ride and a brief description of the ride.

  I haven't got the book yet but I have my doubts about the validity of the claims that the Boland Trail rates amongst the 12 best trails in the Cape.This trail has been cut down to just The Sphinx, Boesmanskloof and Orchard routes, the latter being closed for 2 years or more because of a bridge having been washed away and the refurbishing of the Aloe Ridge huts. Whats more, the lovely Stokoe Pass trail was deleted off your maps and the Somerset Sneeukop route was badly overgrown the last time I did it and dangerous to hikers. I hope after the recent fire on the Boland Trail the 'whole" Boland Trail has been restored to it's former glory. Peter Phillips

  I like this book, even though everyone will always have there own personal TOP 12, I think it's a good mix of the available trails. The Author walked all the trails, and it shows. I recently used it as a guide to The Whale Trail and found it very accurate. Nice to see a hiking book with maps. When is the next one due?

  The descriptions of the trails are wonderful, filled with all manner of interesting tidbits. I think they will inspire the most hardened couch potato to get out there and experience some of the trails for themselves. The maps are great too - very user-friendly. All in all a really nice book.

  Het overzicht is soms misschien een beetje onduidelijk. maar de details in de inzetten en delen van de kaart zijn prima en voldoen goed voor het rondrijden met een eigen auto.

  Double-sided map, with a general road map on one side, plus numerous street plans and descriptions of four special routes on the reverse. The main map covers an area within reach as day trips from Cape Town, extending east to Swellendam and north to Langebaan. Road classification includes unsurfaced roads, intermediate driving distances on main and secondary roads, toll routes with gates, and mountain passes. Railways are shown with local stations. An impression of relief is provided by elevation tinting (perhaps somewhat confusing for regular map users - the higher the altitude, the greener the colour!), spot heights for main peaks, and names of mountain ranges. Nature and forest reserves, plus salt pans and marshes are indicated. Symbols mark local airfields, historical sites, caravan parks, many wine estates, selected hotels and other accommodation, whale watching and diving sites, and other places of interest. The map has an index of localities, and shows no geographical coordinates.

  Four suggested scenic routes are highlighted on the map: the Cape Winelands, the Breede River Valley, the Whale Route, and the Heart of Route 62. All four are described on the reverse of the map, with street plans at 1:20,000 for main town along each route and lists of places of interest with their contact numbers. Each street plan highlights museums and other places of interest, plus selected accommodation and services. Also included is a street plan of central Cape Town itself at 1:17,500. In addition to the information provided on other street plans it also includes traffic lights and one way streets.
