Contour Path between Mlambonja base and Sherman's Cave

Hello, planning a trip to Cathedral peak area and want to find out have anyone hiked the contour path between Mlambonja base and Sherman's Cave recently and know the condition?

 

Did it about three years ago. Quite overgrown coming out of the Mhlambonwa valley requiring some bushwacking. Once you get out of this valley going is Ok. Path gets a bit faded again below the horns. Water in the latter half of the route can be problematic in dry years.

Overall doable but children and people wanting a leasurely stroll might not be impressed.

Thanks BergAttie I appreciate the inputs. I managed to do this contour path section between Mlambonja base and Shermans’s Cave during the weekend of 21 March.

Going into the Mlambonja valley required a bit of bushwacking, going out of the valley to join the contour path leading to the One Tree Hill section was ok, there is a cairn indicating the exit point to the path.Then the first 4 km to the One Tree Hill junction is good with no concerns, where is passes through rivers/streams some overgrowth.

After the One Tree Hill junction the path is ok and as mentioned the path gets faded around the Inner and Outer horns.Where you cross the rivers/streams there are some overgrowth nothing too hectic and there is a fair bit of erosion especially the section after the One Tree Hill junction.

I can confirm that water in the second half of the path is a concerns with no water available.Can also say that it is overall doable but as BergAttie mentioned people wanting a leisurely stroll might not be impressed. You still get great views of the Bell and Cathedral Peak.
