Disclaimer/Contribute

As noted in Tread Lightly, being on a mountain brings inherent danger.

I take no responsibility for loss or injury you sustain in any way, at any time. Every walk on this blog could be dangerous if you do not take reasonable precautions; and of course, you can just be unlucky.

Look after yourself.


Contribute


If you are a hiker in the Cape and would like to contribute walks to this site, please contact me through my profile link on the bottom right of the site. I will make you an editor, on condition that your posts meet the Standards laid out below.

I have no intention of making money from this site, so your contributions would be a public service, sharing your knowledge and hopefully building a community.  Your name will obviously appear against the walks you have posted, and people could contact you through the site if you would like that.

I will commit that if this site were ever to make money, those who have contributed would share that money based on the number of walks you have posted which meet the standards set out below.  In this case, if the standards needed to change, you would need to bring your posts in line within a reasonable time for them to continue to qualify.  All this would be done on Trust - the world could do with more of that!

Site Vision and the need for Standards
My vision for this site is to provide excellent information on a large number of hikes in and around the Cape Mountains.  I'd like it to be the go-to place for people who are thinking of doing a walk, and wondering what would suit them.

In order for this to happen, every post covering a walk will need to provide some basic information and labels which will help people to narrow down their search based on where they would like to walk, or for how long, etc.  We also need quality descriptions of the walk route so that people never wonder if they are on the right track; and a reasonable description of the highlights of the walk.

Standards for Posts

  • Route Summary
  • Map
  • Route Description (detailed)
