DAY 1 - BEERVLEI HUT

Distance: 0 kilometers.
Av Hiking Time: 0 hours.
Highlights: Time to relax before the hike.
Be prepared for: No electricity.

Most hikers elect to be dropped off at the Beervlei Hut and stay overnight so they can get an early start the following morning.

I recommend this as it eases you into hiking mode.

The hut has no electricity, although the outside toilets and showers do.

A nice fire pit outside makes for a perfect evening and time to plan the next days hike.

If you arrive and the hut is locked, then simply phone the number on the sign at the entrance and someone will be along shortly to open for you.

Tips for Day 1:

Take some meat and a bottle of your favourite for a braai (BBQ).
This hut is close to civilisation, so just be aware of keeping your doors closed.
