We were packed and all in the vehicle by 5.30 am, we are a disciplined group, always on time and organised, although Fred keeps everyone entertained when he leaves stuff behind!
The weather was different yet again, overcast, little warmer and the scenery from our starting point through Groenkloof was so lovely. Not as dry and looking so much lusher than yesterday's section of the Kamiesberge. We even had a few drops of rain. Walking is so much easier when the weather is kind.Our breakfast break after 11km was at the farm, Koornlandskloof. As we arrived we were met by an elderly lady, the farmer's wife, and she handed us a bucket of fresh milk, thick and yellow with cream.
As always there is nothing nicer than some good food after walking, Frik and Jaco treated us to sandwiches and I had a few cups of coffee with the luscious milk. A little bit of heaven on a Namaqualand farm. I was happy.
I felt as though I floated through the next 10 kilometres, even my feet receded as a background noise and it was one of the nicest stretches of walking I have done.
