Dennis, ZS1TC, and I activated Elsies and Fishhoek peaks together on the 26th, April, 2008. The two peaks are are only about 2.5 kms apart and linked by a well defined path with with beautiful patches of indigenous flora and abundant bird life.

To the left, a rather apprehensive looking Allen trying to make out the route upwards. We started the hike from the incorrect starting point so had to make our own route upwards until we met the correct pathway about two thirds of the way up !
Allen at the Elsies Peak beacon with a rather grey and bleak looking False Bay in the background.
The beacon is on a rocky outcrop above and to the east of a radio repeater and cell phone mast & station.
