"Audentes fortuna iuvat", was indeed
the case on Saturday morning because although there was a little rain falling
as we drove up Kloofnek road, it let up
as we entered the parking area and soon the bold were favoured as the clouds lifted
and revealed the majestic view along the Atlantic seaboard with clear blue
skies to seaward. It was a perfect
spring morning as we ran through the fynbos glistening with crystal like drops
and encouraged by the lusty singing of the birds as they dried out in the
rising sun.
Mandla and the main group soon forged ahead and from their
report had a good run to Slangolie ravine and back. On the return leg they trotted past the
recovery group in fine style and later we found them basking in the sunshine in the parking area as
they waited to ensure our safe return.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable and dry run.
Special thanks to Mandla Moyo for turning out to lead the main group
