It was a glorious crisp winter's morning with the sun rising over a calm steel blue False Bay as 19 turned up for the run. The twentieth runner who shall remain nameless but not blameless, failed to read the notice as well as the Friday reminder and so drove up to Constantianek. From there it was a plaintive call to find out where we were and dismay to learn we were about 20kms away. But being an enthusiastic trail runner a small black car was noted hurtling south and with smoke billowing from the exhausted engine it slid to a halt just as we were leaving. N will not make that mistake again!
After about 3kms the Recovery Group were somewhat mystified to see the Main Group running in the opposite direction along a trail below them. Seems The front runner at the time R, missed the turn and led them off towards Ocean View. Error was noted and soon corrected which led to a rare opportunity for a combined group photograph.
Anyway we all had a good run although some grazed legs were noted at the end.
