“I’ve only hiked table mountain once. I started at around 9am and hiked up and then took the cable car down and that’s how I would do it every time. I was above average fitness and it took me an hour and a half (I didn’t rush) and then walked around the top for another 2 hours. By the time I was ready to go back down, I was hungry and another hour and a half hike while needing food isn’t pleasant and I got down quick in the cable car and then went to Signal Hill. I got to see more in one day other than spending all of it in only one place.”
