Perhaps
it was the later start-time but we had 39 who pitched up-a record turn-out for
our group. After the usual preliminaries Neil led us out for the run up to the plateau
behind the dam and across to the Tokai lookout. From her we followed the dirt track over to
the lookout platform overlooking Hout Bay.
Then it was a long uphill
slog but relieved by some good views of False Bay although by now the cloud was
forming and the wind rising.
Then
a case of encouraging tired legs to up and over for the long gliding run down
to the Noordhoek Peak lookout but strangely no-one was particularily interested to climb to the top.
We returned to the
dam via the trail sliding down the flank of the Silvermine Dam
amphitheatre taking time out to admire
some flowers
