Ascent from the city centre up Platteklip Gorge. Very sunny and very hot, with the only respite from the heat while between the walls of the gorge! Once at the top of the gorge though, it's a pleasant little bimble across the plateau to get to the highest point, take the compulsory tourist-type photos and then head back down. I actually did it the proper tourist-type way and walked across to the cafe at the topmost cable car station, where I bought something to drink and eat and used some very clean toilets. And then paid a ticket for a ride down too!!
