Report back;Saturday 2nd March: Constantia Nek “Hunt for Red Disa”



20 turned up at Constantia Nek for the start of what would turn out to be a most successful hunt for the elusive Red Disa which is commonly referred to as the Pride of Table Mountain.  All three groups covered the same route.   Fay's SMS sums it up   "We all got back safely after a most wonderful 5-hour walk and saw Blue and Red Disas, Cluster Disas plus King Proteas and Roellas."

One of our longer routes taking over three and a half hours for the runners, more for the walkers, the distance was 14kms plus depending whether you came down the "shortcuts" or concrete road.

Thanks to Richard who so faultlessly lead the main group, better than I, who managed to mislead the recovery group on the way pass Nursery Ravine!

I will let the photographs do the talking,  Thanks to Lorraine for her photographic contribution.
