FEEDBACK: Saturday 28 January 2017 - Hole in the Wall

It could have been the early start or perhaps the hills, but a smallish group of 26 trailers met before sunrise on Boyes Drive at Hole in the Wall - the start of Farmer Peck's Valley. 

Richard and the fast group started off first, then the medium group led by Theo and the usual committee, followed by the small slower group ably led by Marge and Nora.








The first 2kms of this route are a slow trek uphill but that gave us lots of time to stop and take a million sunrise photographs!







By the time we got to the Muizenberg Peak junction the fast group were nowhere to be seen. The medium group skipped Muizenberg Peak and went along a pretty single track to Lower Steenberg Peak.









The fast group caught us as we descended from Steenberg and we gathered for a fast and medium team photo.



Neil and Brett abandoned the medium group at this point and followed Richard. The fast group disappeared again and we next saw them at the end.

We took it easy and enjoyed the flowers, the scenery and the flowing running on single and jeep tracks before the descent down Bailey's Kloof and the stunning views over False Bay.











We all turned into photographers at this point!










The early start was a great idea as it was definitely getting hot towards the end.

Nora and Marge created their own route for the slower group.

It is a beautiful route with a little bit of everything - uphills, downhills, single track, jeep track and awesome views

Lots more photographs on our Facebook page!
