A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning,
as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire
escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.

In Sun-valley lies a GREAT MOTHER CAVE, Peers Cave an ancient sanctuary burial cave and earth mother womb. Above is the ‘Cave of Ascension’, believed to be a ritual cave of rebirth and fertility. This is one of the Cape’s most sacred Caves. It is aligned to the Summer solstice.

The valley is famous for 12,000 year old paleolithic skeletons discovered in a cave (now called Peers’ Cave) by Bertie Peers and his father in 1927. Bertie Peers was a lover and explorer of the great outdoors, a fine amateur scientist and a dedicated naturalist but his enthusiasm eventually cost him his life, when he was fatally struck by a puff adder

 

Ou Kaapse Weg

Ou Kaapse Weg

Despite its name conjuring up images of an old cape road, Ou Kaapse Weg was only built in the 1970’s. It takes one over the Silvermine Mountain Range, through wilderness areas and into the Constantia Valley below.

Forming part of the Table Mountain National Park, it boasts some of the most unspoilt examples of Cape fynbos.

Take a stroll on the top of the mountain and enjoy the breathtaking views of the southern suburbs and False Bay.

The sight which greets the occupants of a car as one reaches the summit of the mountain is amazing. Stretching out below sights as diverse as the Constantia Wine valley, suburbia, and the white beaches of False Bay greet the traveller.

Heading out from Sun Valley or beyond depending on one’s source, one winds oneself up the back of the Silvermine mountain. Better still, on a warm summer’s day, cycle the route stopping to enjoy the fynbos and other flora along the way.
