Slingsby Overberg Whale Coast Map

Description

Slingsby Overberg Whale Coast Map

The Overberg is one of the premier tourist regions of South Africa. Here the Cape Fold Mountains march eastward from Sir Lowry’s Pass, a rugged backdrop to this old Cape landscape of farmsteads, gravel passes and unspoiled views. Delightful towns await you
– historic Swellendam, McGregor and the wine farms of the Bonnievale valley, Hermanus and the fishing villages beyond. Missions, beaches littered with shipwreck sites, whales trolling the surf — all kinds of wonders await you!

If only we could clone Peter Slingsby and plant one of him in every province, we would know so much more about our country … his Overberg map is chock-a-block with information. A classy touch is Slingsby’s smiley-face rating of byways on the main map, with a smile for enjoyable
routes … — Jeanne van der Merwe, Go!

All touring maps should be this good. This is the most comprehensive map of the Overberg ever published, and is the only detailed tourist map of the area currently in print. — Go!
