Christian and Charles have set a pretty bruising pace on the way up! This route is 2 km, but with 0.8 km of vertical elevation gain!
Looks like Charles is photographing a protea, which is the South African national flower. An amazing fact I read: there is a greater number of plant species on Table Mountain, than in all of the UK. It could well be true: Table Mountain tops out at 1100 meters, which is only slightly lower than the 1300 meters of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest point.
