Slingsby Hike the Cederberg 4th Edition

The maps are printed on Duraflex waterproof material and are packaged together in a folding slipcase. The maps are not available separately.

More than a hundred hikers, mountaineers, conservationists and locals have contributed their special knowl- edge to the project, which has been proudly endorsed by CapeNature.

Every single public footpath has been researched on foot, and the maps include distances between path junctions, as well as GPS coordinates, altitudes, etc. etc.

The maps also detail:

• Popular bouldering sites, as well as the complex of fine mountain biking trails around Dwarsrivier/Sanddrif and other locations

• Caves, perennial water, pools, dramatic rock formations and sites of historical importance (but caves that have rock art are not shown except in supervised situations such as the Sevilla Trail)

• The famous Cederberg shalebands, dense vegetation, cedar plantations, prominent rock screes and rockfalls, OVER 12 000 TREES!! etc etc

• The best places to stay from which your hikes might be launched, with their telephone numbers

We spent many delightful days enjoying the warm hospitality of the local communities, gathering more than 500 authentic place names which have never appeared on any maps before. We can proudly claim that these are the best and most definitive hiking maps of the Cederberg ever produced.
