Riemland Hiking Trail
How crazy are you? Crazy enough to give up a running water, electricity, your warm bed and home comforts for a week to:
All this for the destigmatizing of mental illness.
It is a hike with lots of new friends where you experience the highs, the lows, the challenges and the disappointments of life and nature.

In Cape Town we are privileged because of the beautiful scenery and wonderful walking routes so close to us. Therefore the Cape Town walk this year is dedicated to: “Walking the Mountain”. Living with mental illness is often like having to walking a mountain. Some days are filled with struggles and uphills, unexpected detours and tough terrains. The walk take place from the 3rd to the 10th of October. Starting at Noble Square, Waterfront, where we ended in 2017 and walking around Table Mountain to finally end at the Table Mountain Aerial Cable Way House on the 10th to celebrate World Mental Health day (Crazy Socks Day). A walk that will certainly raise eyebrows, attention and most importantly a very necessary awareness of the need to talk about mental illness and look after our own mental wellbeing!

Join our Crazy walk in the capital city from 3 – 10 October 2018.
5km walking route around the capital city. The public will be motivated to walk the route more than once to illustrate the fact that you have to repeat certain behavior in order to achieve optimal mental wellness. Here is the crazy part: we attempt to walk 1500 km (distance from Pretoria to Cape Town) in only 7 days. How will we do it? By having at least 3 walkers per day who will walk from for 12 hours (06:00 – 18:00) from 3 – 10 October 2018. Last year only 26 people took part in the epic journey from Pretoria to Cape Town, this year you can walk as well!
