Donovan Le Cok Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I whinged endlessly for weeks about Silvermine being closed. It opens and I haven't managed to get there in 4 days... DJR 1
Bloukrans Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I whinged endlessly for weeks about Silvermine being closed. It opens and I haven't managed to get there in 4 days...Its unforgivable!!! Spent the last two days there for short periods!Good to be back on the mountain - now waiting patiently for Tokai.Thanks to all the stakeholders to make access possible  DJR 1
PET3RS Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Loved going to the dam with the kids to picnic, anyone know if that's still possible? Are there shade providing trees surrounding the dam?

JAJA Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Did OWP section yesterday.  Had limited time so could'nt do the NHP loop as well. Lots of topsoil/silt run off from the slopes now on the jeep track and lower steep sections have bad erosion.   Nothing has been done in terms of repairs to the jeep tracks other than filling some areas with building rubble.  Would have thought they would rather fill with natural rock, etc, and keep foreign materials off the mountain.

If I remember correctly there were more bushes and small trees before the closure. Feels faster somehow... Bloukrans, DJR and Donovan Le Cok 3

Im not renewing the activity card untill tokai reopens At the entrance it is listed as R70 while on Table Mountain social media I read the day permit is R60. I'm still using my activity card which expires early Jan
Jackhorner Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) It's R70 for a day permit, available at the entrance. Edited December 24, 2015 by Jackhorner
