The 7th edition of the South African Highline Meeting will be hosted at De Pakhuys in Rocklands over the Easter weekend, 10-13 April 2020.
Details:
Highlines ranging from 20-65m long will be rigged and ready to walk.
Campsite lines for learning highlining techniques will help first timers
with the basics. We’ll have some waterlines over the dams for fun in
the sun too!
Other activities include Climbing, Swimming, Hiking, Unicycling, Juggling, Tricklining, Rodeolining, AcroYoga, Music etc…
Camping and Accommodation:
De Pakhuys Campsite
will be the main area of activity, in close proximity to the Highlines
(10min walk), lake (swimming and waterline), kitchen, bar, etc. There is
no need to book a campsite, but if you’d like a cabin, it’s best to
phone the office well in advance.
Alpha Excelsior
also has accommodation available, and a dam for swimming and
waterlining. The new Donkey Camp has 8 permanent caravans for hire with
two camp slacklines, about 30mins walk to the highlining action.
Traveller’s Rest is another accommodation option with a restaurant and slackline alongside a river.

De Pakhuys is about 250km from Cape Town, 26km past Clanwilliam which is
the closest town. Take N7 (towards Malmesbury) until Clanwilliam
turnoff on the right (just after Clanwilliam Dam). Then carry on past
Clanwilliam and over the Pakhuys Pass. De Pakhuys/Alpha Excelsior
turnoff is on the right a few hundred meters after the pass.
