Based in Cape Town, the Meridian Hiking Club has been active since 1989. There are usually between 120 and 200 members. We offer a range of day hikes, weekends away, weekend trails, long trails and conservation activities. We also get together monthly at pub nights and regularly organise other social events, details of which you will find in the calendar and notice board. Most of us know each other pretty well, but we always welcome new members, so please don't feel intimidated: phone, write, come along and introduce yourself.
