Photos of the Sunday Hike and Walk Klipriviersberg Johannesburg – 7 November 2021: a few weeks away from summer, good rainfall over the past few weeks, what does this translate into? a lush green Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve. We had a cloudless blue sky, a bit breezy at times and the weather warmed up pretty quickly. It was a hot 30C (86F) by the time we completed the hike.

Photos of the Sunday Hike and Walk Klipriviersberg Johannesburg – 7 November 2021 – As always it was great meeting friends and making new friends. We separated into 3 groups: the 5K walk, the 11K and the 15K hikes. Thank you to all the friendly people who attended and a special Thank You to the co-hosts: Harry Meyer, Natasha Crawage, Pamela Ashurst and Sylvia Vermaak and thank you to Sylvia and Tony for the photos. We also had a nice group visiting from Eye of Africa Estates: thanks for joining our hike today. It was a most enjoyable hike and social🥾🌻🌞😎

Hiking is Good for Body and Mind

Hiking outdoors has plenty of perks: nice views, fresh air, and the sounds and smells of nature.

It’s good for you, too. Hiking is a powerful cardio workout that can:

Lower your risk of heart disease
Improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels
Boost bone density, since walking is a weight-bearing exercise
Build strength in your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs
Strengthen your core
Improve balance
Help control your weight
Boost your mood. “Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety,” says Dr. Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society. “Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that.”

Great hike, great people

It was my first time joining this hike. The host (Tony) was very welcoming and the group that did the 15km was friendly. The trail itself is clearly marked and a very good workout.

Can’t wait for the next first Sunday of the month!

Sylvia and Shivesh were very fit before they got injured. Hiking with them, together with Tony was an awesome experience. 🌳🤸🏾‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

I’m so happy that they are recovering well.

Everything fell into place perfectly on Sunday. It din’t rain throughout the hike, while a cool breeze blew, cooling us beautifully as we made our way through the nature reserve.

It was a pleasant surprise to see how the landscape has changed from the brown and barren winter look to beautiful, green and lush vegetation.

One can feel the rejuvination and healing because of being in such natural surroundings.

I also enjoyed the company of people who took part in the hike.

I thoroughly enjoyed this hike. Thank you Tony, David and Jason for organising and hosting yet another awesome hike.😊✨️

Thank you so much for your comment Teslar and for the 5 Star rating. Yes, remarkable how good rain at the right time turns a brownish Nature Reserve into a fresh and lush green Nature Reserve. Klipriviersberg can be enjoyed throughout the year: each season has its beauty. Thanks for being one of the Organisers and thank you for contributing to the success of our hikes at Klippies🙏😎🥾🌞

Hiking celebrates life

May 2, 2022

Hiking becomes a way of life, putting one foot after the next a motto to traverse life’s obstacles. I enjoy the care and sense of inclusion Tony and Jason provide to all participants. My brother and I joined the 15 km group, as I love the red trail, but due to work obligations, we left earlier, completing just under 8km. As always, Kliprivier provides options for all levels of fitness with beautiful scenery. Meeting a variety of people makes the journey more interesting. Thank you for the photos 😃

To put one foot in front of the other, that is what one does on a hike and that indeed is how life is. Thank you so much for your kind words Elzette and please do join us whenever you can. Keep up the good work!

Experiential hike 🙂

Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Completed a 15km hike with Tony, Dave and Sylvia. What makes a great hike besides the beautiful scenery, are great hiking hosts. Tony and team are so warm and welcoming and very inclusive throughout the hike, thank you for the hospitality! Lovely hike, lovely people!
