TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 19TH JULY 2025 - KALK BAY - SILVERMINE EAST
Lorraine Nevin
Hi Trailers
This Saturday we'll explore Silvermine East after the fires, starting from Kalk Bay station parking.
Route
We meet at the parking at Kalk Bay station opposite the Norman Road steps. We follow the various steps up to Boyes Drive and wind our way up to Weary Willy's. Here we go straight up Echo Valley, turning left and then right at the top to do some flowing downhill running down Dead Man's path. We follow the jeep track to visit the waterfall, and run toward Gate 2 turning right before the gate to climb up to Fat Lady cave. From there we descend to the jeep track turning right to Junction Pool. There are many routes back.
We can detour to Muizenberg cave on the way or turn left at junction Pool towards Nellie's Pool; pass Nellie's Pool and then left down the single track through Mimetes Valley (or keep straight on the jeep track). We don't go down to Bailey's Kloof but keep an eye out for the turning to the right turning to get back to the jeep track. Follow the jeep track back to Weary Willy's and back down to Kalk Bay
