SAT 15 FEBRUARY : CONSTANTIA CORNER/DAMS/CECILIA RIDGE
As dawn crept over Constantia Nek the air was humid and sultry, an omen of what was to come.
Gregg led us out to the long hot climb up to Eagles Nest followed by a seemingly endless scramble up to the top of Belle Ombre. Then it was over to Camel Rock . By this time the Main Group were a distant flash of colour to us in the Recovery Group.
For both groups it was a hot tough run but never the less a worthwhile achievement. Despite the fact that the Recovery Group took a wrong turn and ended up slogging along the non-ash valley through thick dead undergrowth to come out above the Victoria Dam.
About 13 kms for the Main Group and 9kms for the Recovery Group.
Thanks to Gregg for managing and leading the run and congratulations to Julian who completed his 50th sortie
