Never to young to enjoy a hike on

 Table Mountain

On the 1st May I had one of my most enjoyable walks on The Table Mountain Chain. I always enjoy walking or hiking wherever and whoever I am with. But Mia and Robyn 2 nine year old girls from Cape Town really made the whole day very special.

For their first mountain we chose Lions Head. An easier walk to start with. Especially as both girls claimed to have a fear of heights!! Full of excitment we set off. The girls running a skipping ahead. Luckily they stopped to admire the view over Camps Bay before they left me too far behind!

We continued around the path and had to decide whether to use the chains or take the easier route. After a little discussion we decided to try the chains first. The girls were both nervous but determined not to look down. Of course they both scrambled up with ease and bounded onto the next section. Again the final ladder filled them with trepidation, but having managed the chains they went for it. Easy!!.. And before we knew it we were at the top.
