Hole in the Wall

Meet Reports 17 October 2024 Hole in the Wall

LEADER: ESME BEAMISH         CO-LEADER: JENNIFER MEEK

We met at Constantia Nek carpark at 7.30am. All attendees were MCSA members. They agreed to and acknowledged the MCSA indemnity by raising their hand before starting the meet.

The Route followed the path and road to the Overseers Cottage, then along the side of De Villiers dam to the ‘New’ Hole in the Wall. We did a fun easy scramble to the top of the ‘New Hole’ and then walked on to the ‘original’ Hole in the Wall. Then we traversed along the top with dramatic views of the Peninsula, weathered rocks and ancient forests.  A refreshment break in a cave looking north rejuvenated us before clambering up to explore the rocky outcrops and the stone bridge above the cave.  The descent was via Caveman’s Traverse with a short rest under the overhang before continuing past the De Villiers dam and arriving at the car park before 1pm.

15 MCSA members attended the meet: Isabelle Frantzen, Trevor Stacey, Karen White, Sue Orr,     Judy Scott, Monica Drogemuller, Pat Holme, Charmaine Kritzinger, Penny Brown, Alex Le Roux, Pam Robertson, Joanne Wylie, Mariella Broschetto, Jenny Meek, Esme Beamish
