Feedback: Saturday 3rd March, Sunbird Centre

Group photo with the Amphitheatre as background

An overcast morning saw 30 of us arrive at the RV.

We had two newbies and welcomed back Ralph who had been recovering from an injury and Marge who last ran with us last September.
We started off with  a warm-up downhill run to the Sunbird Centre and entrance into the park.  From here a long gradual ascent as we made our way up Silvermine Valley  and then the trail around Klein Tuinkop.
to the Amphitheatre where we stopped to regroup and the inevitable group photo.

Then over the Crassula path along to Junction Pool and the single sandy trail back to Maiden Peak around and down Silvermine Valley.   Somehow certain enthusiastic runners got ahead of our guide and missed the turn off so they were in danger of returning to the amphitheatre before they realised the error of their ways.    Meanwhile Fay had taken her younger brother in tow and instead of doing the shorter route decided that it was so much fun they would follow us.

Congratulations to Gaeleen who chalked up 50 runs, Felicity with 30 and Maeve Hooper who joins the Decurions having completed 10 sorties.
