A morning on the mountain

Path down to Rhodes Memorial

It is still such a pleasure to be on the paths and the boardwalks of Newlands Forest here in Cape Town.

A cooler start to the day with some cloud cover, so different to yesterday which felt like a typical summer's day.

A strong power walk up to the contour path is so good for building strength for our mountain days on our Ultra Walk in August.

The path down to Rhodes Memorial is always a challenge for me, steep and uneven steps, but the rest stop at the restaurant is a treat. Fred loves his huge English breakfast.
