Late departure time from Giants Castle Reserve was created by Stephenv
We re flying up from Cape Town for a trip in the berg and want to maximise our time. What is the latest we would be allowed to set off for Bannermans hut? We left Cathkin for Greys in December at around 5pm and nobody seemed particularly interested. I think it might be different at Giants Castle Has anyone had any experience

The latest I've set off from Giants is about 8pm.
I think the guard hut / gate entrance is open until 10pm.
Drive to reception, complete the register and then you can set off. Make a note in the register that you will pay on return

They don't mind if you set off in the dark. Did a couple of night hikes last year, still remember the guy in the guard hut at Moncs Cowls face when I signed in at 6pm Friday night. He asked me when we were planning to start hiking, and I told him now His jaw nearly dropped to the floor. As above, just make sure you sign the register and pay the fee, and don't get lost.
Enjoy!!!
Enjoy!!!
