Wherever a Norwegian travel, a Norwegian will hike

So after 4 days of exploring the busy streets of Cape Town and the industrial area of Woodstock (we're working after all) it was time for some proper hiking. It turns out, CPT has endless opportunities when it comes to vertical adventures. First up: Lions Head.

Panorama, anyone?

I believe it's called Lions Head for a reason

Mountaineering

Absolutely stunning views on the way up

Mission: Accomplished!

The compulsory "sitting here contemplating, while I take in this earth-porn moment" pose...

CPT by dusk - Photocred to the one and only Hive account@arnfinn

Anyways - we got to the top just as it was getting dark, and on the way back, daylight was dropping fast. I decided it would be a good challenge to run all the way back to the Airbnb apartment via Signal Hill which is the next point on the ridge. Long story short: 6km later, I tumbled my way down a near vertical mud wall through a maze of razor sharp brushwood and shrubby plants, barely making it to the apartment before everything turned pitch black. For a minute there I felt like an ultrarunner. Hive account@raelynnbianca would be proud :D Note to self: Don't run in Cape Town in the middle of the night. Down a mountain. With no headlight. Alone.
