This trip is weather dependent.

The default option here is to take the cable car both up and down Table Mountain, followed by a trip to Seal Island in Hout Bay (via Chapman's Peak drive, rated as one of the [http://www.earthporm.com/25-wonderful-roads-world/ most beautiful] roads in the world.

* Size limit: 60.
* Time that trip is leaving Fuller: 08:00 (have an early breakfast)
* Time that trip is leaving Cable Station en route to Seal Island for non-hiking group: 10:30

There is an option to hike up Table Mountain, take the cable car down and go to Seal Island, but this is a SEPARATE TRIP due to time and bus seat constraints (sign up in next section).

=== Details for hiking up table mountain ===

There is not a size limit.

Map: indiebio has a hardcopy of the [http://www.slingsbymaps.com/tablemountain.aspx Slingsby map] with her, these can be ordered online or bought in a few places. These are no longer free to download. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/338191 OpenStreetMap version].

Cost: It is free, but with the option to come down via the cable station (R240 return, R125 one way), which then may need transport back, although hiking back is an option too. There is a restaurant at the cable station. Locals tend to think of it as a tourist trap.
Cable car information (with up to date weather information): http://www.tablemountain.net/
Total distance: 16km? (to confirm)
Total duration: approx 6 hours
What to bring: 
* Good shoes. The terrain is well laid out, with paths and steps, but it is uneven. Cross training or trail running shoes are good. It is doable with sandals but not recommended. 
* Something warm. The weather can change very fast, mostly to a chilly mist (the 'table cloth').
* Water. There are river streams and puddles that are safe to drink from if you're the outdoorsy type. If not, or if you need a lot of hydration, bring a water bottle.
* Hat, sunglasses and camera if you want to.

Route: This can be decided by the group, there are many options, two are recommended: 
1. Devil's peak option:
The suggestion is to start outside Fuller, walk up to the tennis courts, then more up to Rhodes Mem, then more up to almost the block house, then swing left on the boardwalk, then up at Newlands Ravine. Then up. and more up. And then a bit more up.
Then swing right and do a Swiss ascent upwards to the heavens, and just when you think you can't anymore, the most spectacular view opens up as you reach the tip of Devil's peak, at 1001m above sealevel.

Route option 2 images: http://hike-cape-town.blogspot.co.za/2011/09/hike-newlands-forest-to-newlands-ravine.html

2a. Maclear's Beacon, the highest point of Table Mountain option:
Start outside Fuller, walk up to the tennis courts, then more up to Rhodes Mem, then more up to almost the block house, then swing left on the boardwalk, then either Skeleton Gorge or Nursery Ravine. Then up. and more up. And then a bit more up. Once at the top, swing left to Maclear's beacon, which is the rather underwhelming highest point of Table Mountain at 1087m above sealevel. From there one can come down the same way again, either back to campus or to the Botanical Gardens, or continue across the central table to the Cable station.

2b. Kirstenbosch via the Boardwalk (easiest):
Start outside Fuller, walk up to the tennis courts, then more up to Rhodes Mem, then more up to almost the block house, then swing left on the boardwalk. Continue on the trail until the signs indicating going down to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which is in the vicinity of Skeleton Gorge. Entry from this side into Kirstenbosch is not controlled, but you are expected to pay an entrance fee. From there one can walk back to campus or get a taxi (or bribe someone to come fetch you)
