Up for coffee and a rusk, into the vehicle to drive to our starting point for the day, exercises to warm up and we then start the first walk of the day.
I woke up fragile this morning, but pulled on my layers, had my feet strapped and got going after some lovely supportive messages and a call from Lee in Australia that was inspired.
The Kamies Pass is wonderful, a good 10km walk on some steep sections and switchbacks. It is still cold early morning and we had a strong wind coming down the mountain. My feet hold up well going uphill so I really enjoyed this first walk, watching the sun come up and seeing the lovely valley below us.

The breakfast stop was at a wonderful old Namaqualand farm, Jaco and Frik prepared breakfast rolls for us with coffee while we rested up and took in this rural scene of old.
The quaint white house which housed the blacksmith and his bellows, the well and hand pump and the original flour mill in the annex of the main farm house. Makes my heart sore that our rural legacy is so under pressure.
You can rent this house as on overnighter during flower season. Another must on a bucket list, stay on a Namaqualand Farm and walk.
