ACCESS & PERMITS:As members of the Mountain Club, we enjoy access to some amazing mountains,
forests and coastal areas throughout the country and abroad. In South Africa,
access is normally provided by the Club Sections through land purchases,
servitudes of access, or by arrangement with State Departments and private land
owners. Some Sections own mountain huts and all members of the MCSA may have the
use of these through reciprocity arrangements. Although access to is often on private land all of the main mountain ranges in the South Cape are in state hands. They are managed as wilderness or nature reserves by either the Western Cape Department of Nature Conservation or by officials of the Garden Route National Park. Over the years a good working relationship has been built up between members of the club as users of mountain land and of the rangers who are its custodians. At all times proper advance arrangements are made before any exploration of the mountains and the appropriate access fees are paid. The Eastern Province Section welcomes our members to their properties on
Cockscomb and Witterivier and the Formosa hut in the Tsitsikamma. For access to
these areas, a Permit must be obtained in advance. In addition to the above, we have a special arrangement with the owners of
the land on which the Wolwekrans rock climbing crag is situated. For the current
arrangement please contact the Rock Climbing convenor. Go to the
Contacts page for details. |
