This was a new route which turned out to be a great success. Thanks to Randolph who went to a lot of trouble to pioneer it beforehand.
Nothing really to report other than in the customary manner of TM Trailers the leaders of the main group took a wrong turn and ran full pelt into Sol Kerzner's guarded estate. As best as I can work out is that Boris an Albanian ex bouncer from one of Cape Town's Gentlemen's club though that his day was about to be made. On duty guarding Sol's version of Nkandla and having been alerted to an imminent threat he came hurtling down the hillside on his armoured quad bike to confront this horde of brightly dressed invaders led by a bearded fiend. In his best anglo-albanian he let it be known that their presence would not be tolerated etc etc. despite the protestations of innocence he escorted them off the property .
Unfortunately Hein,a law abiding citizen together with his sister Aneen who had taken an alternative wrong turn missed this excitement but were well on their way to Suikerbossie before they realised they where way of course so ran an extra few kms
All in all a good outing for the 27 runners
Some comments from Randolph
Thank you for letting me organize the race and trust all enjoyed including those who were chased. Just some observations:
- 1 I agree that run is better is run anti-clockwise i.e. in reverse
- 2.
The main group can then do 1km to Llandudno and back – the
others can go 100 metres towards Llandudno to see the a charming small
bay.
- 3.
Parking can be problematic as there are only 17 demarcated
bays with some space for a couple of cars in the parking area and if
cars are only occupied by a driver and if the route gains popularity.
Congratulations to Angela as this was her 25th sortie so now she is eligible to wear a Red tee
Saturday was a big milestone for Gae as this was her 125th sortie. This means that she has trail run some 1500 kms and can now can wear her Red and White Tee shirt with pride. Hearty congratulations
