Embrace the winter chill

Embrace the winter chill with Octohoodie

 As July arrives, Cape Town is in the grips of a very cold spell. While the temperatures drop and the days are shorter, dress warm and get outside! With Octohoodie, the perfect companion for your adventures, you can still have a blast and stay cosy. In this blog, join me as we explore exhilarating activities and sports to enjoy in the cold (and wet) embrace of Cape Town’s winter.

Outdoor Adventures

• Surfing: This can be a very invigorating experience. Head to popular spots like Muizenberg (Beginner) or Big Bay (Beginner, Intermediate and Advance

• Hiking Trails: Discover some of the incredible trails, perfect family walks or solo excursions. From Tokai Forest to the Majik Forest Walking Trail, there is something for everyone. And wrap up before you leave in your Octohoodie.

• Walking the dogs!  Try Paradyskloof Waterfall near Stellenbosch or Newlands Forest Short Circuit. Remember when we walk the animals, we walk ourselves.

• Riding your bike! Explore local parks as a start, or head to the Spice Route for good family fun. For a more structured experience, check out The Bike Park at Constantia Uitsig. Remember to avoid slippery tracks.

Indoor Delights

• Ice Skating: Channel your inner Torvill and Dean at The Ice Station in GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World.  Hold tight onto the railings if needed. I did!!

• Roller-Skating: Be a sport, and visit the Rollercade at Battery Park in the V&A Waterfront for the most fun on 8 wheels. Whether a pro or a beginner, the mirror ball and loud music will get you going.

• Markets: Now this always appeals to me! Delicious grub, jovial music, unique stands. A lively atmosphere for all!

So, don’t let this icy spell spoilt your holiday. Layer up in your Winter Fleece Oversized Octohoodie and embrace the change in weather. Let it be an invitation to explore and try new things.
