EXPLO OPENING HIKE - Magaliesberg Traverse

Your classes just started. You have just less than 600 subjects. Jool, Ienk, Res, Hatfield, everything is flying by too fast.

Come join Exploratio on our Beginners Hike in the Magaliesberg for a lekker weekend of hiking, chilling, swimming, sliding and rock jumping. It's a 2 day hike of 15km along the Magaliesberg through kloofs, ravines and rock formations that will blow your mind. You don't have to be super fit, but you have to carry your own things and a tent.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME. First timers and old hands. It is essential to book your spot on the Notice Board!

It’s happening on 25 and 26 Feb. We are leaving early at 6:30 from the climbing wall at LC de Villiers and we'll be back late on Sunday evening.

It will cost around R200. This includes food, transport and permit fees.

The Magaliesberg is located less than an hour's drive North-West of Pretoria. The area falls under the Magaliesberg Protected Natural Environment Area, which means there's no one else there.

We will provide the food and organise the transport. You however have to organise your own bedding, tent, alcohol and snacks. If you don’t like my Nescafe, bring your own. Take note that we’re sleeping in the mountains - You have to carry in everything. There is however water available everywhere.

Here is a list of things you have to bring:

• Backpack
• Warm jacket
• Rain jacket and rain gear
• Tent
• Sleeping bag
• Comfortable hiking shoes or boots
• Swimming clothes
• Water bottle
• Hat
• Flash light
• Cutlery

Keep an eye on the website, Facebook and the Notice Board for developments. Look under the Downloads section for more detail on the route.
