Thanks Mate, some (2-4) of us adventurous S.A. Navy PF members used to hike or climb to these Caves in the 1963-65 & remained mum about them not to run the risk of a flood of Vandels..❗👍🏻🙇♂️

My late father used to tell us about these caves (he called it the underground escape) the Groenplaas. Always said that when war comes that's the place to go cause there is fresh water running there. (my father severed in WW2. Use to love his war stories.
The sandstone mountains of the Cape Peninsula are riddled with caves. As teenagers we used to explore the caves on the mountain on the south side of Fish Hoek. We never told our parents where we were going - it gives me the shivers now as to what might have happened if we had not returned.
You lived, explored and now you have stories to tell your grand kids. That's the beauty of being young and free spirited. You only learn of fear and how to face it when danger arises.
@@hungwekuhlase4332: My children and grandchildren cannot comprehend that my friends and I (five of us) could do what we did as teenagers. Table Mountain was our playground! And our parents had no idea where we were! In hindsight, yes were probably being irresponsible. If we had all fallen down a cliff, nobody would know where to start looking for us. That was 70 years ago. There are still 3 of us alive today. And we still reminisce about the 'good old days'. 😊
You must check out the Sterkfontein caves. I will guide you per email as best I can to places underground no one has ever been, from entrances very few people know about which leads to an underground lake located under the cemetery etc, not the lake close to the main entrance. There are also ways leading towards the area know as "Groenplaas" and an underground river flowing towards Westonarea. At Waterfall there is another entrance next to a stream which leads to the Tarlton area. We spent weekend after weekend in those caves, we know it quite well. Most of what I mention is unexplored still. There are some seriously beautiful places down there.
My grandfather George Ward Barlow worked in the Sterkfontein caves, collecting lime. They family lived on a farm close by. I have an old newspaper with an article about finding Mrs Ples
You mean you explored the caves. Someone else discovered them a very long time ago. That’s why you knew while them. Discover & explore are two very different things. 😉
This video is epic, my beloved grandfather (rip) once told me about these caves. However I was too young to care to remember the specifics of where it actually was. After he passed my cousin and I attempted to find it but failed and quit looking...but now with this video!! Thanks for the content its epic.
I couldn't breathe just watching this, I like my wide open spaces and fresh air thank you. I literally sat with my hand over my eyes and just listened to you in those tight spaces.
@@EatonShitson why didn't you go on your own? Or were you too scared? Do you jump out of airplanes? Or do you have a stupid illogical fear? Do you do free-diving into the depths of the ocean with one breath of air? Or do yo avoid that due to a stupid illogical fear that you have? If someone has a fear or phobia, keep your petty judgment to yourself, it'll make you a bigger/better person.
There is too much loose sand to say the river flows through there. My dad grew up in Cape Town, and that was his playground plus the mountain. He showed me so many places, and my brother got wood by some excavation site at the castle that is more than 340 years old. He built himself a dinningroom table and chairs from it, absolutely beautiful.
@charlesflying it was already discovered many years ago. It's like stating you found devil's peak after visiting table mountain. Nothing was "discovered" or "founded" by any of the individuals.
Hey guys, that's very interesting, I remember in the 80's I took my son on a hike up the mountain from the Zonnebloem side, we came across a small opening on the slopes, going approx 20m or so in the mountain, there was a vertical shaft ,who knows how deep. Got the info on caves from one of Lawrence Green's books
I bought the book of Joshua Penny’s life on Table Mountain a few years ago at a market second hand for R2. One of my most cherished books. So wonderful to see this video and experience where he lived for a few years! Thanks guys!!!
I'd love to read that book. Was thinking it would have been quite lonely for Penny up there on his own. Maybe he had friends or even Koi living in those caves with him.
I once went with a small hiking group to explore the Kalk Bay caves. There was a tiny tunnel - say cm dia. You have to enter a certain way, else you wont make it through the kink in he middle of the tunnel. I you go in the wrong way you'll get stuck .. then you better have someone to help pull you feet back out. Scary.
Table Mountain is actually full of caves, there’s some more natural ones that opens up just above the crystal pools and then there’s actually quite a few man made ones containing old water pipes and one where the water still flows through as well. Used to be my playground as a kid but now that I became older and fatter and became more claustrophobic I’ll have to be content exploring them through videos like this..
These systems were explored by SASA (South African Speleological association) i the 70's and 80's already They were explored, surveyed and documented. Geological survey were given the maps with the research into the systems. This was done all over SA 40 plus years ago. Just we are in our 60's and 70's now, old and decrepid and not able to be active in this sport/pastime any more
@AdamSpiresWannabeVlogger I was a member of SASA in the 70's and 80' and on the 4 man exploration team that went and did the mapping and investigations. Once that was done the club would usually follow the next month
Another gentleman noted in his comment that he explored the caves 50+ years ago, he said, "It looks like the artifacts have been removed". Were there any artifacts found during the survey?
@Jimjolnir they were probably removed before our official explorations as a club as it would most certainly have been documented. SASA had a strict "no disturbance except where absolutely necessary for exploration" policy. Stalagmites and stalactites were not even climbed on to measure them but were estimated (surveyor and an engineer were part of the team) and photographed, so could be reasonably accurate. The one member was an employee of SA Geological Survey dept and documentation was lodged with them too. All caves explored, surveyed and geological assessments done were to aid geological records as well. In my years of exploration we never encountered human artifacts. Caves can be kilometres in length and several hundred metres in depth and included cave diving as well, so human prescence was limited to a very short distance at the entrance. To explore some of the intricate and larger caves could take years of revisiting. Sometimes 180m plus abseils into the darkness that takes hours to rig up descent/ ascent equipment and get the team down. Then to explore and survey and map is an extremely slow and laborious process. Its only the shallow easily accessible caves like the sandstone caves on Table mountain that take traffic because of the easily accessible hiking trails and simplicity of the caves. These were formed not by water but by geological action, so it is basically collapsing on fault lines and opening up passages along those lines. The remote caves in the rest of SA are far more complex and of greater size. In the dolomitic mining regions around Carltonville in GP, the caverns there can be 150m high and 300-400 m long with about 180m wide if my old memory serves me correctly. It can take around 4 hours to get the team into the cave. And is strictly controlled because of the skilled climbing and rope/rope ladder work required.
Just Loved Your Video Adam I am a Capetonian and Yes Over The Years We Use To Hike Up and Down Table Mountain with Our Kids or Just Hubby and I Hubby was a Boy Scout so Table Mountain was his Playground and They Spent weekends in The Caves Im so Happy That You have shown the Rest Of The World Our Beauty and Treasures
Used to explore those caves in my youth, about 55 odd years ago, your advantage was those great touches, we had touches with yellow lights that lasted about half an hour. Looks like most of the artifacts have been removed.
Wait till you see "the grotto" cave. From the Cable car you have to take the path that goes towards and past Platteklip gorge. Continue past the gorge and as soon as it starts to become an open area on the right side of the path, look out for it on the right, about 100m from the trail you will start noticing some deep openings (for the lack of descriptive terms). There is a large chamber with a nice "window" looking out towards the dam.
So amazing!! Excellent upload thanks guys, also what are the odds it was another M cave entrance? The americas have made some incredible vidos on the M caves 🌹❤❤❤
I new it, I spent time in ankor wat, cambodia and met a person who told me there is a layline across table mountain🙏🏼that whole mountain is caved, under ground systems and all, I'm based in Joburg, please invite me for your next excursion ❤🎉🎉
In the early 60’s we found a cave amongst the rocks at Isipingo beach KZN.. Smugglers Cave or WWII ?? It is said that ☝️ same lead all the way to Post Office in Delta Road !!
I Really Really Want to try this but my brain keeps reminding me of the nutty putty incident great works guys and stay safe on these adventures, we need more.
If you ever plan a trip to Sabie, Mpumalanga. There are a few caves there. One in particular has structures like that, but it is cavernous from end to end, the size of a ruby field at least. Stalegtite and stalegmite. You can see where a river used to run. Very interesting indeed. I unfortunately do not know the history behind it. But it is one of the most exquisite caves I've seen. Untouched by time, due to almost no one knowing where it is.
I've been on Table mountain many times, if only I knew about this. Next time. I'm a South African living in Germany, Ha,and the South African accent is starting to sound strange to me.
Used to explore this system with buddies 37 years ago. Kalk bay boasts of the lo gest dandstone loop ( I think in the world) we always said it was false information, Tabke Mountain's sandstone network beats Kalk bay hands down! Did you come iut at an enterence full of bats? One of the entrances/ exits / access points is full of thousands of bats. There are also places where you can abseil down ( although a bit cramped) deep long inderground crags.
Used to explore the Kalk Bay caves in the late 70's come sunshine or rain. Took along change of dry clothing and did a lot of crawling around the network of caves. The bats hung off the top of the cave with a opening at the top. Enjoyed caving so much and never got to go all the way in some of them as it got too narrow and had to reverse backwards to the opening. The one also has an exit on the opposite side of the mountain. Lots of water on its floor during the winter rains which didn't deter us.
These caves are much older than you think. Start at 6000 years minimum. They were made for human survival during the catastrophic cycles that earth periodically endures.
Been in some of the caves before with a friend who was a member of a hiking club. One guy actually got stuck in one of the narrow channels. But we made it in and out. But not these caves.
As for claustrophobia, I don't feel the tight spaces. Funnily enough I have often spelunked in the caves around the Kalk Bay Amphitheater for instance and often requires crawling and stuff. I don't panic, just tell myself panicking accomplishes nothing. And that if I panic I become rigid and then I have reason to worry. So long as I keep cool, I am flexible.
Whats interesting here are the Straight cuts on the walls. As if its Bricks stacked ontop of each other. Like the Mountain has lines which looks like mortar. Adam any recollections?
This has all the vibes of Europeans discovering the Americas and Australia and the Southern tip of Africa. There's people who've been there forever. But hey, nice find.
My fear of tight spaces and the rocks crushing me to death will not allow me to do this. 😂 Great watching you both do it though, booty shots, and all. 😅
Homeless people residing taking shelter in the many caves in Table Mountain, ...during the day in town, trying to make a buck, night time retreat the mountain...even hideouts for criminals ...berg means mountain and bergies is just a word for these homeless people living there...
An amazing find, but I feel like the responsible thing for you to have done would have been to not be so specific about it's location. It's likely every #dicktomandharry from the social-mediaverse is now going to want to visit the cave and A) ruin it, B) increase the number of emergency rescue service call outs. It would have still been a great video without drawing the attention of thousands of people who will likely want to swarm upon it and create havoc. Just my two cents worth.

Amazing! I never knew there were caves up there, but I won't be following you in there! I prefer the wide open spaces
If you ever plan a trip to Sabie, Mpumalanga. There are a few caves there. One in particular has structures like that, but it is cavernous from end to end, the size of a ruby field at least. Stalegtite and stalegmite. You can see where a river used to run. Very interesting indeed. I unfortunately do not know the history behind it. But it is one of the most exquisite caves I've seen. Untouched by time, due to almost no one knowing where it is.
I want to explore this this weekend with my brother. Is it possible to ask for some guidance on how to get there?
I've been on Table mountain many times, if only I knew about this. Next time. I'm a South African living in Germany, Ha,and the South African accent is starting to sound strange to me.
Hopefully this hidden piece of history does not get destroyed.
Wow very interesting.
Used to explore this system with buddies 37 years ago. Kalk bay boasts of the lo gest dandstone loop ( I think in the world) we always said it was false information, Tabke Mountain's sandstone network beats Kalk bay hands down! Did you come iut at an enterence full of bats? One of the entrances/ exits / access points is full of thousands of bats. There are also places where you can abseil down ( although a bit cramped) deep long inderground crags.
There’s so much!
Used to explore the Kalk Bay caves in the late 70's come sunshine or rain. Took along change of dry clothing and did a lot of crawling around the network of caves. The bats hung off the top of the cave with a opening at the top.

These caves are much older than you think. Start at 6000 years minimum. They were made for human survival during the catastrophic cycles that earth periodically endures.
This is Epic! Keen to do a video together sometime if you want to do some exploring.
Been in some of the caves before with a friend who was a member of a hiking club. One guy actually got stuck in one of the narrow channels. But we made it in and out. But not these caves.
For a moment there I feared that you would not find your way back out!
As for claustrophobia, I don't feel the tight spaces. Funnily enough I have often spelunked in the caves around the Kalk Bay Amphitheater for instance and often requires crawling and stuff. I don't panic, just tell myself panicking accomplishes nothing. And that if I panic I become rigid and then I have reason to worry. So long as I keep cool, I am flexible.
Awesome! And clearly these guys don't have claustrophobia.
awesome, who would have known, please alert the right people
Awesome🎉
Whats interesting here are the Straight cuts on the walls. As if its Bricks stacked ontop of each other. Like the Mountain has lines which looks like mortar. Adam any recollections?
Not really, where did you see that?
The caves are old news....my father and his mates used to spend the odd weekend up there
This has all the vibes of Europeans discovering the Americas and Australia and the Southern tip of Africa. There's people who've been there forever. But hey, nice find.
Awesome. Dankie
Wow 😳❤ Amazing

Fascinating
The cave system on/in Table Mountain stretches all the way to Kalk Bay....
where did you start to hike on table mountain to find this spot?
Nice man
Awesome!👍
so south africans took Credo For granted here we are now
Did you ou's leave some bread crumbs behind when you went in?
Amazing! Thanks!
I’m sure that one of those tunnels lead to a proper under ground river .. where the rock is harder . Much more to explore ..
where is this I'd love to go check it out. been hearing about these caves but just never knew where they were.
How do we get that map? Keen to go check this out myself
Top secret 😅
Where the term, “bergies” come from
Homeless people residing taking shelter in the many caves in Table Mountain, ...during the day in town, trying to make a buck, night time retreat the mountain...even hideouts for criminals ...berg means mountain and bergies is just a word for these homeless people living there...
My dad in the late 1940s played on Table Mountain as if it were his sandpit. I do not think there is anyone who climbed that mountain as much as him.
Please keep these places out of all the media,not good for its preservation
I could be wrong but when a stalactite meets a stalagmite, it becomes your so called "pillar"
An amazing find, but I feel like the responsible thing for you to have done would have been to not be so specific about it's location. It's likely every #dicktomandharry from the social-mediaverse is now going to want to visit the cave and A) ruin it, B) increase the number of emergency rescue service call outs.
It would have still been a great video without drawing the attention of thousands of people who will likely want to swarm upon it and create havoc.
Just my two cents worth.
Agreed, but trust me, nobody can find it just by looking at our video. Made sure of that 😅
Been there so many times .
Wow thats cool...
Pretty epic.
Heritage of my forbears, "Malay Slaves" to escape the oppressive system of "master and slave" paradigm.
Very interesting discovery, nonetheless.
How did the original peoples see without torches
I would love to explore that
