Long run/hike from Simonskloof to Langdam and back. Just after the Telkom Tower the trail stops and it is a bushwack through some gnarly Protea fields... Managed to summit Naudesberg and descended the other side through some more Proteas. Arrived at the jeep track relieved and headed toward to Eagle's Way leading down to Langdam. Quick refill and time to do the whole route in reverse. 8 1/2 hours later, 35km done and dusted, 2000m of ascent. Such a beautiful area!
