Gauteng hikes and walks

Tim Hartwright is the owner of Jacana Travel Marketing & Reservations and also chairman of the Footprint Hiking Club, and the Braamfontein Spruit Trust, an environmental organisation concerned with monitoring the wellbeing of the spruit and public open spaces and parks in the suburbs of Johannesburg. As such he walks all these areas on a regular basis. He sees his position as that of supporting the work that Johannesburg City Parks does in maintaining the more than 2 000 public open spaces that fall under its control. Tim walks on average 1 200km a year, much of which takes place within this book's covers.
