| How I love these happy faces! |
We left the Knersvlakte after the first short walk of the day and headed further south to walk along the secondary road into Clanwilliam. The road is wedged between the Olifants River and the foothills of the Cederberg.
Fred was in a happy space finding wonderful flowers to photograph along the way. I so enjoy his excitement when he sees a new bloom and get the 'perfect' shot'!
I had been looking forward to seeing masses of the white Namaqualand daisies, they are a delight and did not disappoint.I found the going tough though, the weather swings from the early morning cool to the heat over midday and we had some 20km to do along this hot and dusty road.
Even the refreshment stop did not seem to revive me.
Eventually we flopped into our cottage at Boskloof Swemgat, had a lovely meal put together by Frik and a good nights sleep too.
- Walking log: 23rd August
240km of 301km, another day in the bag.
I have been walking with Luciel from Messina, she and I have a similar pace and we help each other with the pace setting, which makes a difference to the walk.
