Doringrivier Circuit is a 15km hike. The peak with approximately 769m elevation which we will embark, is the highest point on the Doringrivier Fynbos Trail and takes around 6 hours to complete. (Rating 7/10).
The vegetation, unlike the rest of the mountain fynbos in the area, was protected during the 2018 wildfires that burnt 108,000ha, and is pristine. This is a trail for Fynbos enthusiasts especially now that it's in season and offers comprehensive panoramic views of the Outeniqua Mountains from the north. Water is available from the rivers in the valley.
We'll pause a while for refreshments at the peak, before we tackle the descent in a circular route back to the starting point.
👉🏻 Compulsary items: Suitable lightweight hydration-/backpack, sunscreen, hat, comfortable shoes, something to eat, enough water. Lightweight windproof jacket/fleece, beanie and gloves depending the weather. (We will aim to postpone the hike in the case of rain, but a waterproof jacket might be a handy kit item). Best to always dress in layers. Space blanket, emergency energy bar/trail food, bandage, small petroleum jelly comes in handy for chafing etc.
✨ Optional items:
Fingerless gloves, hiking poles, buffs, coffee.
♡ Meet at the Doringrivier starting point (Pin drop to follow) from around 5h45.
