Why the need for
Midweek hikes
From the archive. This page keeps material from the hiking club website that once used this domain. JHB Hiking is an independent magazine; routes, access and fees may have changed, so check with the landowner or reserve before you go.
The walks are generally more laid back than the Sunday hikes and often a venue is chosen where we indulge in a snack lunch or braai. Slow and moderate groups are formed as required.
These midweek hikes are highly recommended, so come and see for yourself.
