- Episode 16
Very few people are aware that Table Mountain has 2 tunnels right through it. These both have carried water for the city for many years, in fact Apostle's Tunnel is still in operation.
Come and adventure with Monty and I as we explore 700 hundred meters of Woodhead Tunnel in a very dangerous Slangolie Ravine.

Goodstuff Boet... must go and have a squiz sometime, when in the area👍🏻😉!!!
For sure!! Preferably with a mate, it is a dangerous route and probably shouldn't be done on your own. Thanks for watching.
Dit is defnitief die mooiste en fantastiese interresante inligting!!!!
Knap gedaan!👍👍👍
Thank you Wendy! Pity RUclips hasn't loaded the HD yet, I unfortunately have no control over that and it takes anything up to a day!!
I can feel that south easter all the way from Houston. Great hike. I miss the Cape.
Thank you for watching! South Easter in the Cape certainly has its days..... sometimes one hates it, especially when trying to record sound! (Try and try again....)
Should be here!!😂
I would love to join on one of these adventures and getting to know more history about our city.
So glad you are enjoying our channel. Thank you for watching. Unfortunately neither Monty nor I am in-country at the moment - but maybe you can view and make contact with Joshua from Skitzmissions (you tube channel). I have paused the channel for a short while - hope to start up a new season soon.
Thanx mate..epic adventure in its own right(left??)
Always boet!!! Zig-zag for the next one....!
Wow. Well done . You rock!!!
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching!
What an extremely beautifull hike...
and love the fun you have together..
Thank you for watching! I hope that you too manage to get out and about on our trails!
Very, very lekker guys! Good job! And as usual, very entertaining 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantasties! Dankie, manne!
Dankie vir die saam kyk!!
Dit lyk baie lekker. Ek begin nou planne maak om dit te doen. Goeie video julle 2. Dankie vir deel.
Bly jy het dit geniet!!!
I took a number of school groups up Orange Kloof with a TMP guide.... we have some great photos of the headstone marking the entrance ( which you called the exit!) of the Woodhead Tunnel .. watching you two crazy guys really brought back those wonderful memories with my kids and colleagues!
School groups are always such fun! To see the wonderment on kids faces as they explore makes a hike even more memorable. I hope you are still hiking! Thank you for watching.
This is great stuff guys. Thoroughly enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was great to watch... my stomach right up in my throat at parts.
I also thought I could make out the body of a person sleeping, like Monty commented, because the white rocks on top of the pipe looked like a person's feet/shoes/
Hahahahaha! It did look a little like a person. Monty was a little white faced after that! Thank you for joining us on the adventure!
Wow done slangolie but not the tunnel just wondering if iam up to it now lekker man manne love the video
Thank you for watching. Slangolie is a tough hike - but either way, if you can, get on to the mountain and enjoy!!
Like the google map illustration - routes..
Google earth/maps is a really handy piece of kit!!!
You just gained a new subscriber! This was awesome!
Welcome aboard! Hope to meet you on the trail!
Looks like a great hike. Do you take people on hikes?
Thank you for watching and commenting. So Monty is currently in the planning process for a Trail guide business and will therefore do "tailor made" hiking and adventures. Maybe leave a contact of some sort and Monty is sure to get back to you.
I can't see how close the stairs are?
The stairs were actually carved and placed, making them evenly spaced - unlike other areas on the mountain where random boulders were placed in a "stair like" fashion.
Well done but do look up Tartaria and Red Bricks and mud floods and meltology.. These caves are much older than 1450.
Thank you for watching. Will do some research on these caves.
Both of u are nuts
Thank you for watching, and I certainly take the "nuts" as a compliment! (LOL)
So why is Cape Town local people paying so much for water what is the government up too
So, I can't really speak to the "paying" part (I do have an opinion though) But as for the Woodhead tunnel, the water that used to flow through that pipe from Woodhead dam now flows through the Apostle's tunnel and is still in use today.
For our non Afrikaans speakers: Slangolie = Snake oil.
Omg you guys are nuts!
Thank you for watching.
