~ 8 March 2026: Dorstberg – Meerendal

Training for the Fish River Canyon hike in June 2026

Distance: 7.91km
Ascent: 275m

The trail leads around a few blocks of vineyard and then around a small hill, with views of Table Bay and Bloubergstrand. At 4.5km, the climb up Dorstberg starts. It’ is quite steep at times – really “breathtaking”. We followed the same route down Dorstberg, and at the split, followed the path down to the start.
