Overnight Berg hikes with kids

Thanks everyone for your good advice. It's really exciting. I have never been to some of these areas and not been to the berg for almost 15 years (sigh), are these recommendations well marked or would one need to take along a good map etc? I have got maps and a 2010 edition of David Bristow's book.

We share your excitment.

1. always take a good map.

2. don't believe everything you read.

ENJOY.

but the good side to the Berg, compared to the W Cape is that there are paths and you won't be digging fynbos out of your shins for 3 weeks after the hike is over. Hats off to themeda triandra.....

Funny thing is...it was while living in CPT that I did the Mont-aux-sources to Cathedral traverse, now I've been in JHB for almost 3 years and the closest I've got to the berg is this forum. But by end of Feb that will have all changed i hope

Well pleased to say i have made reservations for 1 night at Injasuthi and 1 night in Grindstone caves with the aim to go (or return) via Cataract valley. I'm trying to keep it easy and fun for the kids first Berg sleepover. I'm grateful for all the advice from everyone...if this trip goes well, you have all left me with many good options for future trips. Trip is planned for 25/26/27 Feb. I don't know who is more excited, the kids or me...

4 more sleeps...

Hope it all goes well!
