Kabeljous Hiking trail. Sunday 1st August 2021. Peter Giddy Guided Tours and hiking group

 Kabeljous Hiking trail.    Sunday 1st August 2021 and hiking group.  

The Kabeljous hiking trail that we do is 8km and just over 2 hours.  It is a really easy flat walk.   We walk through coastal fynbos; the crossroads and the viewsite pathways to the wetlands and beach walk past the Cairn.  We take the Dune walk to our half way snack break.   Across the Bushbuck Bridge and the Lagoon walk through the Aloe and Euphorbia forest.  We approach the river and do the short River Loop before getting back to the cars 2.15hours later.   

A little chilly to begin with but really a good day for a walk.  

Kabeljous Nature reserve.   We do the 8km trail to the viewpoint; Crossroads; beach; Dune walk and Lagoon Walk; Aloe and  Euphorbia Forest trail ending on the River Loop.   

Unfortunately no dogs allowed on the Nature Reserve. 

On the trail today:   Dayle; Julie; Chad and Kelly;  Dominque, Saverne and Eden;  Katharine, Sally and Neko;  Jenny;  Sonja and Adele with Lila and Lida;  Wendy and Chris.   A bit chilly to start off with.  

On the beach walk with Julie, Kelly; Chad and Dayle

Dayle was at school with our Jacqui.  In the same grade.  

Chris and Wendy.   

The Cairn.   It is our tradition for everyone to put at least one stone on the Cairn.  

Cancer Bush.   

The parts of the plant most commonly used are the dried twigs and leaves. It is said to improve appetite and weight gain in cancer patients and is an immune booster in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It is also said to be a gentle tranquiliser that decreases anxiety and irritability.The leaves of a variety of medicinal plants can stop the growth of breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, ovarian, and uterine cancer, a new study shows.

One of the sections which is worthwhile is the Lagoon walk just after crossing the Bushbuck Bridge (Which has lost its sign)

Peter Giddy's hiking and tours group..... To enjoy the outdoors and to discover and explore places you have never seen or experienced.  Meet people and make new friends.  I understand that not everyone is at the same level of fitness and ability.   So I accommodate everyone by providing hikes to suite the individual.   No one is left behind.
