Gaeleen reports:
Julian took the lead, and I kept an eye on him and the few people behind me,
so we managed to do the whole run as a single group. Felt like more of a
hike than a run, but enjoyable. Spectacular views on the way up. From the
tar road we did head off incorrectly towards the East Fort, but we turned
back and found the unclear path and some of us ran to the lookout at
Skoorsteenkop, but the clouds had moved in so there was no view. Quite a lot
of bundu bashing on the way down, and then the road and gravel back to the
cars - I had forgotten just how long that gravel road/pipe track was - maybe
because last time we ran the down route! Total distance - just over 10 km
in 2 and a half hours.
We did have a newcomer arrive with a dog (female Doberman), which did
'change' the run a bit especially when she chased a cyclist on the mast road
and tried to bite his calf - so a few 'loud' words shouted at the dog and
owner by the cyclist. She also did knock a few of us as she ran past on the
single tracks, but luckily no falls etc. and apart from the cyclist, no
complaints.
Congratulations to Julian Tompkins and Dave Bywater who join the Decurions having completed 10 sorties.
