Woodstock Cave

One place we have never visited is Woodstock Cave. So, lets brave the Devils Peak muggers, and go and investigate. Meet at the Gim Tree Carpark at 7h45. About 3 hours with tea and a few diversions. 

The Cape Town Magazine hiking site describes it as follows: 

Tafelberg Road to Woodstock Cave

Moderate
Get to the lower Table Mountain cable station and continue along Tafelberg Road until cars are no longer allowed. Park your car (or continue walking) and pass the road barrier. Walk for a few kilometres along the beautiful tarred road, enjoy the views and colourful flowers. At the end of the tarred section, walk a further 100 metres on the dirt road and you will see a metal gate with stone pillars. The hike up to the cave begins a few steps before this gate; it is a little bit hidden. The route zigzags its way slowly up the slope and will bring you to Woodstock Cave’s mouth.
Duration: It is a comfortable one hour walk up to the cave, so plan 2.5 to 3 hours including a picnic at the cave.

Saddle Up and Down

Starting at Newlands Forest, we will go up to the contour path and then up Fernwood Ravine to the Saddle. In winter and early spring the Erica abietina subsp diablolis are out in full bloom and in November this is when the Peninsula Skolly - the Peninsula's only endemic butterfly - is on the wing. From the Saddle we will go down the zigszags to Tafelberg Rd. Looking towards Cape Point.The Pulpit and Dark Ravine.

To the Saddle via Oppelskop Ridge on Devil's Peak

Shirley describes this as an "easy-rising, circuitous route up to the Saddle and easily down via the Zigzags Path. A very nice walk with good views over the city and bay, and many flowers to see in the spring." (Page 28 of A Walking Guide for Table Mountain.)

It will take about 3 hours. Dogs encouraged to deal with muggers - anyone got a cattle prod too??
Meet at the parking spot on Tafelberg Road - about 2 km from cable station - with the large gums trees. There is a signpost opposite the car park on the side of the road.
