This is a revival of a previous hike which was last done in 2014, incorporating the Glen Shaka trail in the Umhlali area, and passes through canelands, grasslands, protea and macadamia nut plantations, coastal forest and shady streams. There is a R20 per person donation towards the maintenance of the trails that hikers will be walking on. Meet at 7.30am at Virginia airport or at 8.15am at Shell garage, Ballito (from M4, turn left past the shopping centre) and hikers will travel in convoy to the start. Graded two to three, this is a hike of about 16km.
