FEEDBACK: Saturday 23 August, Constantia Nek-Kirstenbosch

Saturday 23 August was the 4th anniversary run of the Constantia Nek to Kirstenbosch route, and included Veronica Barnes our first recruit.

The new tee shirts were handed over to those who had ordered them and from now on our runs will be brightened by trail runners sporting green TMT tees indicating 50 sorties as well as the more familiar red tees indicating 25 sorties.

The main group
The walking, recovery, and main groups set out from Constantia Nek up the Eagle's Nest shortcut through Cecilia, Spilhaus and Rooikat ravines to the top of Kistenbosch Gardens.  The main group went as far as Skeleton Gorge, the recovery group to Nursery Raving, and the walking group to Fourways.  All the groups returned via Cecelia forest and the low route above Rhodes drive back to the start.

The main group covered 11.7 km, the recovery group 8 km and the walking group 7.8 km.




The recovery group
Except for Richard who collided with a rock and injured his knee forcing him to turn back, all three groups had an uneventful runs/walk.  

Congratulations to Piero  Granelli who completed 50 sorties and our blog editor Nicole Meyer who ran her 25th sortie.

In conclusion we Richard a speedy recovery
