The start was cold and overcast with a breeze that had visited the Antarctic before arriving in Cape Town. A small group of around 27 runners divided into the 3 groups and quickly set off down the welcome downhill to the Sunbird centre.
That was the last time we saw the fast group, ably led by Paul and Hein. They had already packed up and gone by the time we got back!
The long slog up to Dead Man's path warmed us up quickly and jackets were shed. We climbed up and around to the amphitheatre, took a group photo and enjoyed the downhill back to the jeep track.
What a beautiful day for running - lots of streams, the waterfall was flowing strongly, the flowers were out and the sun started peeping through.
A group decision after the fisherman's single track saw us detour to the waterfall path which was new to some. Homeward bound with a spring in our step!
Peter's group took a shorter route and arrived home before us
The medium group did 13kms in 2h24 - including regroups, photos, dancing and chatting.
