We
walked
from
the
Groendal
office
to
Eel
Cave
and
spent
two
nights
there.
It's
a
moderately
long
walk,
about
15km.
There
is
one
very
challenging
climb
early
into
the
walk
called
Narina
Ridge,
about
0.7m
long,
with
about
240m
elevation.
Once
you
are
at
the
top
the
walk
is
easy
with
lots
of
fynbos
all
around
you.
When
you
get
close
to
the
end
of
the
trail,
a
fairly
steep
descent
takes
you
to
where
the
path
splits
towards
Emerald
Pool
and
Eel
Cave.
The
path
down
to
Emerald
Pool
is
extremely
steep
and
there
are
some
very
mild
exposure
to
heights.
Do
not
go
down
there
the
same
day.
Take
the
other
path
to
Eel
Cave,
spend
the
night
there,
and
then
explore
Emerald
pool
the
next
day
without
big
backpacks,
as
the
climb
back
up
is
strenuous.
You
will
need
at
least
2
litres
of
water
before
you
go
up
Narina
Ridge,
as
you
will
not
get
water
again
untill
you
reach
the
end
of
the
trail.
When
you
carry
on
past
the
cave
you
will
find
Eel
Pool,
which
is
easy
to
reach,
and
your
best
option
for
refilling
water
on
arrival.
You
are
not
allowed
to
make
fires
anywhere
in
this
reserve.
Even
though
there
is
evidence
of
people
making
fires
before,
Groendal
has
since
forbidden
it
so
please
observe
the
rules
to
keep
the
Cave
and
Pools
tidy.
