A guide to the Helderberg & Hottentots Holland Mountain Rim

By Steve Chadwick

The culmination of eight years of research into the mountains surrounding Somerset West, South Africa. Detailing out its mountains, it's many hiking trails, as well as carefully researched narratives of the history and legends of the mountains, including the most detailed yet story of the old 'Gantouw' wagon pass. The book also describes caves where you may find shelter in the storm; the story of local rock art, and an addendum detailing the first compilation of rock climbs on the mountains of the Rim.

Great history

I am not especially a hiker but read the book for its history and found it delightfully readable. The history of the area really came alive and I had no trouble zipping through the book happily. Even as simply a tourist in the area.I really learned a lot from this.
