Day 2 sees us trekking up to Elephant's Eye cave from Tokai forest. This is a 7.6km round trip and is very vertical - straight up and straight down. This one took us 3 hours to complete.
Most of the hike is through the forest itself which at least gives some shade in the midday heat (yes, we hiked in the middle of the day -> mad dogs and Englishman, what now?)
As you reach the top of the forest, you get some stunning views across the South Peninsula the Southern Suburbs and the Cape Flats. It's here that you realise just how far you've come!
After that you haul your tired ass the rest of the way to the cave, which is nice and cool (a glorious relief!)
It is also the perfect place to stopover for a bite to eat (remember to bring something!!) before heading all the way back down again!
