FEEDBACK: Rhodes Memorial-Newlands

Although the weather forecasts were projecting perhaps a little light rain later in the morning they got it wrong!    18 turned up despite the rain and we were soon marshaled into our groups briefed and off we went on time.

Now many route planners have their favorites: some like steep uphills, some the technical bits but Lorrainne added a new dimension, she chose a route that carefully ran under every rain cloud gathered over the Newlands slopes of the mountain.   We got wet.   Never the less a good run over a scenic and varied route and for once we did not get lost!

Thanks Lorraine and Nicholas for leading the Main Group
