On Good Friday we did the standard Jonkers Western Loop. We started with 3km of jeep track and then started up the Swartboskloof hiking trail. Thereafter we connected to the Sosyskloof route towards the Fireman's Hut and then headed back towards the gate on the top contour route. We finished the beautiful extreme jog with three sections of the MTB trail in the "alien-looking" forest - not sure what the MTB trail is called.
