Through our yoga classes, we met another Pearl Valley
resident who introduced us the PV hiking group who had a hike planned for Thursday
– a public holiday here for Human Rights Day. Eighteen of us met in the carpark at 8.15 and headed
off to the Mont Rochelle reserve at the top of the Franschhoek Pass.

We hiked to Dutoitskloof and then on the lookout point – only
about 9km but a bit of a climb – and back again – about 3 1/2
hours in total. This was only one of the trail options so definitely a place to
remember for future visits. From the lookout point you could see the Theewaterskloof Dam to the south and the Wemmershoek Dam to the north.

Once we got back to the car park, someone suggested a drink
on the way home and we headed for Hey Joe - a new micro-brewery at Franschoek.
Impressive place with some excellent beers and wine for those that preferred.
Spent almost as long sitting in the sun drinking as we had hiklng – glad that I
didn’t have to drive home.
We’re now signed up to the Whatsapp group so there may be
another hike before we leave.
