TAKING PART:
Dave Jones (Leader), Chris Gow, Dave & Margie Barnes, Clive & Sandy Louw, Fred & Nicky van Berkel, Geoff & Lorraine Ditchfield with Greg & Janet Moore. 12 Members in all.
The good support for this pleasant 12 km circuit on the hill above Sedgefield showed that there is room in our Section for easier walks which give the opportunity for couples to hike together and the weather could not have been nicer.
The party gathered as planned at the busy Farmers’ Market for a departure at 9.00 and the circuit in an anti-clockwise direction which implied the potentially boring leg along the N2 or through town came first.
This was cleverly by-passed by using the old railway line and sand tracks along the base of the hill in MCSA style to reach the paragliding site by 11.00 and a tea stop.
The Sedgehill view-point was at its best but with absolutely no wind there was no paragliding activity to amuse us.
The whole party were back at the start point by 13.00 where a unanimous decision was easily made to finish off a very pleasant day by quenching our thirsts at the Scarab Market Craft Brewery.
Thanks to all who supported the hike for their pleasant company.
