EXPLORE INTUITION THROUGH NATURE... since March 2004
This website was last updated: 26/6/2009
From left to right: A selection of pictures from our previous open organised group Intuition walk was on Sunday the 10th of May 2009, a walk from Constantia Nek on the jeep track, up past Eagle's Nest Look-Out point over looking Orange Kloof. The route then followed a mostly gravel path until we reached the De Villiers Dam, that was built in 1907. This was our lunch spot, it offered views into the heart of the Natural forests of the unspoilt Orange Kloof. The walk that was enjoyed by all. The spectacular views and great soulful company were especially enjoyable.
Location of this Sunday's walk
On Sunday 28tht June 2009 at 11am you are invited to join us for a leisurely walk suitable for most levels of fitness. The meeting point is on Tafelberg Road (the Road where the the lower Cable car is located), at the start of the Saddle Path Walk. From our start point, we will take a fairly easy upward zigzagging walk to the Lower Contour Path, which runs parallel directly above Tafelberg Road. The route will then take us on a level path past the Silver Stream waterfall, which flows in winter. Then on to the Fire outlook, which has spectacular views of Kloof Nek and Camps Bay. As we take in the breath taking views we will enjoy a lunch break here. The route will take us back the same with alternative views.

Approximately 5 hours (please note that these times may vary) with sufficient time to stop along the way (remember 1.5 hours of the allocated time is set aside for breaks and to explore the wonders of nature).

I do hope you have been keeping warm and that you have had a great week. A reminder for those who have not been on the walks before, the walks are intented to be of such a nature that we are able to slow down and through our senses experience some of the wonders that nature has to offer. The slowing down creates an opportunity for re-connection within.
Please also note that it is important that if you would like to join us, please send me an email or sms with a cell number. Should the walk be cancelled or be changed at the last moment, then I am able to reach you. Kindest regards. Iain Macdonald

As a reminder.
It is always best to be pro-active with regards to safety. If possible only walk in organized groups. One of my main priorities is safety and in the three years of organizing these walks, we have not had any such unpleasant experiences. We are determined not to be put off from exploring the wonderful, heavenly piece of heritage which we have in Table Mountain.

A note to all those who love being out on our favourite mountain, always walk in an organised group and consider safety as a priority.
Wherever possible the lunchbreaks have been extended to 45-60mins offering everyone a chance to chill out and connect with others or find a quiet spot to meditate. Remember that even if it rains in the early hours of the morning before it gets light, there is a good chance that the weather will clear up, which has been the case for many Sundays.
Being in Nature on a regular basis helps us to connect body, mind and spirit energetically and leaves you rejuvenated and with a sense of grounding. For those that are drawn by the calling of Intuition and nature, these walks make for a great way to meet like-minded, soulful individuals who share similiar interests.
A reminder for those who are new to the listing: I will organise longer hikes away on a
more regular basis (every 2 or three months). Cape Nature certainly has a lot to offer.
