29 turned up at in the parking area at the top of Black Hill to catch a magnificent view of the rising sun over a placid False Bay. The
morning promised to be warm and so the
three groups promptly set off at 0630. The route
through the fynbos revealed many flowers
in full
bloom and in the clear morning air the view into distant
Hout Bay, Table Mountain in the far distance and Cape Hangklip peeping above
the horizon beyond False Bay was spectacular.
The Main Group soon pulled away from the rest and by all
accounts had a good but uneventful run despite the heavy going through
the soft sand. The Recovery group followed them being uncertain as to
where to turn off for their shorter route. A lesson learnt there being to ensure that
Leaders do know the route that they should follow. End result was some of the RG were a little
tired by the end having run more than they anticipated combined with slogging
through the soft sand.
Kate Le Roux notched up her 50th Sortie so can now wear
the Green tee and Bonnie Floyd and Sam Smith both competed 10 sorties so can
now take advantage of the speed check-in.
Main Group did 14kms in just under two hours the Recovery Group 14km in 2hrs30 and the Slow Group 10.5kms in 2hrs10.
