点评:I just returned form a wonderful Fynbos Trail in the glorious Grootbos Nature reserve with a group of adult friends (40/50 yr olds) and our teenage children (14-16yrs). Before departing there were some moans about how doing a trail is the last thing a teenager wants to do. That sentiment dissipated very quickly as our troop of fairly experienced campers and hikers set off. We all had a ball. The trail distances each day are perfect to get your heart rate pumping and legs burning a bit but are so manageable. The scenery is spectacular and the cottages are just lovely, well appointed, clean and way more than you'd expect from trail accommodation. We prepared pizza dough before hand and made use of the pizza oven on the first night, that was a real hit. The hot tub and braai/fireplace on the stoep of the second cottage is fabulous especially if there is a bit of raining approaching, which there was for us. We had such fun on the unguided, self catered option. It is my second experience on the trail and I would definitely do it again and can highly recommend the experience. There has clearly been a bit of recent rain damage to some of the steeper pathways so you do need to be a confident and steady walker. Ian, who met us, explained the trails for each day and moved our gear from place to place, was so warm and informative. Many thanks to Michelle and Ian and the team for a wonderful way to experience our beautiful floral kingdom.
