"This is a wonderfully informative, entertaining and responsible guide to the hidden pleasures of the region... if ever there was a guide to get you up and out of your armchair to explore the natural bounty of the Western Cape, this is it.

It’s like having a well-informed companion sharing engaging conversation with you as you step lightly from one destination to another."

Evelyn Holtzhausen
(Spokesperson, Table Mountain National Park), Cape Times

  isn’t really a book about walking with a dog at all. It’s more about the delights of the less demanding walks that the Cape has to offer. You could take a fat dog on many of these walks, but on just as many others your pooch, fat or slim, will have to stay at home as we take you on more than sixty of our favourite walks.

“The one companion you really shouldn’t leave behind is this new guide by Peter and Maggie Slingsby ... their delightfully informal but highly informed text will amuse, entertain and educate you while helping you to find your way ...”

              John Yeld Environment Writer, Cape Argus

Originally published in the Cape Argus, these entertaining descriptions form an excellent introduction to the fascination of walking in the Cape.
