Sedgefield Hill and Lake Ramble – 9 November 2019.

Hikers:
Clive and Sandy Louw, Barbara Raubenheimer, Wendy Thompson, Geoff and Lorraine Ditchfield, Jude Cobern, Joan Louwrens, Fred v Berkel and Dave Barnes (meet leader).

The hike started in town where we met, and proceeded eastwards, then up the hill to our first stop at the paragliding site which was unusually deserted on a Saturday due to the unfavourable wind direction.

We stopped for a picture near Cloud Nine, with Cradock peak in the background.

Then down to Willow Point, site of Outward Bound camps, and along the lakeside.

On reaching the disused railway track we found it overgrown and decided to head across the N2, past the market and along the lake back to the start.

Good cool weather for the hike.
Most of the party met afterwards for a braai at Dave and Margie’s.
Distance was 14.3 km with 190 metres ascent. Walking time was just under 4 hours.
