7. South Africa by Road
A Regional Guide
“South Africa by Road: A Regional Guide
is more than a mere travel guide; it is a
comprehensive handbook to the country,
giving insight into the many national
treasures that line our highways and
byways – from vibrant cities to charming
country towns and one-horse dorps
steeped in history. The ultimate companion
for any road trip, it offers sound advice on
the best routes, and contains all that
holidaymakers need to know when
planning their next vacation.
Full-colour photographs and an interesting
mix of side panels will inspire travellers to
take to the tarred and gravel roads of South
Africa, and explore the many absorbing
nooks and crannies of our extraordinarily
diverse country. Each chapter gives an
overview of a region’s climate, flora and
fauna, and history and heritage, and
highlights the most noteworthy places.
Ideas for what to do in each location are
outlined, as are key activities, routes and
trails.
From hot-air ballooning to white-water
rafting, 4x4 trails to strolls in the
countryside, spelunking to visiting
museums, and festivals to architecture,
there is something for everyone.
Customised full-colour maps in each of
the 29 chapters show national, secondary
and dirt roads, toll roads, passes, game
reserves, national parks and nature
reserves, as well as places of interest to
help you plan your journey. A separate
46-page road guide and 12 town plans
complete the useful cartographic section.”

9. Paths to Pubs:
A Guide to Hikes and Pints in the Cape Peninsula
“The most detailed coverage yet of the many paths that crisscross the Cape Peninsula,
this book describes 72 trails that traverse Table Mountain, the rocky headlands of Cape
Point, and the mountains, ridges, beaches and forests of Constantia and the villages that
hug the peninsular coastline. Best of all, however, there’s a chapter presenting 33 favoured
watering holes where weary hikers can wet their whistles after they have worked up a
sweat.
Besides a detailed description, each trail features a concise route summary, contour map,
and GPS coordinates for the start and end points. A handy overview presents the distance,
duration, difficulty, exposure and gradient of each route; colour photographs and varied
fact panels on local flora, fauna, geology and history add lively interest. The carefully
selected pubs have been rated according to atmosphere, value and quality of food, and
useful icons illustrate where there are views or sports viewing facilities.
Mountain safety and emergency rescue advice and tips on hiking gear and what to pack
are also included. This practical guide, written by veteran hiker Tony Burton, is a must-have
for novice and experienced hikers as well as casual ramblers. Even teetotallers will not
want to be without their copy.”

14. In 2009, David McCutcheon, ex-Production Manager at Lovell
Johns, went solo with his mapping career. I owe most of my skills
and mapping know-how to David and I consider him to be my map
mentor.
I partnered up with David and we continue to create many beautiful
maps together. We do however have the freedom to find and work on
our own projects.
“When I first traveled to South Africa in a training role, I came across
a young woman with a talent for making maps and more
impressively, playing pool. Little did I know this would be the start
of a professional relationship spanning over 10 years. I have a long
list of Cartographers who I can call upon when needed and Liezel
is top of that list. With an eye for detail, an inquiring mind and quick
to learn, she has matured into an accomplished Cartographer.
However, I'm not sure how her pool is these days.”
