I did a hike with Riaan Vorster in February 2014 and he told me about this book. Riaan contributed to a lot of the book, both in terms of photos and content, and if you previously liked hiking Table mountain, after reading through this book you will love hiking Table Mountain! I have done 3 of the trails already and now have enough know-how to try some of the less conventional routes (you can only climb Nursery Ravine and Skeleton gorge so many times before wondering where the other ravines lead!) Well done Tony and to Riaan for his contributions!
