Table Mountain`s Forgotten Forest

Table Mountain`s Forgotten Forest
High up on the top of Table Mountain is a hidden forest. It is isolated and pristine as it receives very few visitors. Over time I explored it and provide a here a route, that cuts through the best part of it. Once you are at the edge of the forest it takes about 30minutes of walking to get out of it, which makes it a sizable forest. This is not normal walking as there is never a very clear path. Sometimes you will need to figure out the way. This walk is best for the fit and the adventurous not for the dog walker or people who expect a path.
As this is a hidden place, and unknown to the tourist industry, the PDF attached, is unlocked after a small fee is paid. The PDF contains full details on how to get to this incredible place along with other fascinating information about the area.
