Our first trek to the Majik Forest in Welgemoed took place this week with Randolph as run leader.We drove through quite thick fog along the N1 but emerged safely above the cloud in the vineyards to see a gorgeous sunrise over low rolling hills.
The run was divided into three distinct parts: vineyards, forest and round the dam. The Fast group did 12.5kms, and a few runners did the dam again to increase distance to 14,5kms. The Medium group did 9.3 or 11.3, depending on whether they ran around the dam or not, and the Slow group did 8-and-a-half kilometres.
All three groups ended up back at the cars in about an hour and a half.
