Have you ever had this strange urge to become the next Heather “Anish” Anderson or Andrew Skurka? Only to find yourself halfway up the mountain, huffing and puffing, with no more water left. Cue Amanda and her trusty hikingforchubbygirls Instagram page:
As a non-hiker, have you ever had this strange urge to become the next Heather “Anish” Anderson or Andrew Skurka? So you rummage through Google for beginner-friendly hikes and trails, form a list, get kitted up and embark on your new hiking journey.Then all of a sudden you find yourself not even halfway up the mountain, huffing and puffing, with no more water left.
In her bio, Amanda explains the essence behind her page, saying: “A page dedicated to honest reviews of walking trails and hikes around Cape Town – that take into account short legs, chubby bodies and the safety of women on these trails”. Soon after, Hiking for Chubby Girls became an official movement when Amanda held her first inclusive hike in 2022. It was the easier route of the beautiful Cecilia Waterfall Hike, which went through Kirstenbosch Gardens.
Since then, HFCG’s inclusive hiking groups have traversed a number of trails across the Cape, welcoming hikers and trailers of any form, shape, or fitness level “as long as you’re not trying to outrun anyone”. Tomorrow marks the return of HFCG for 2023 and the first trail is an easy easy hike through Newlands Forest, perfect for those trying to get back into the hiking scene or just starting out.
