Walking the distance from Johannesburg to Cape Town


Solitude of Long Beach, Noordhoek


This morning the tide at Noordhoek was perfect for a morning walk, the beach was as good as always, even though it is overcast in Cape Town today, the sea sparkled and it was a luscious green in places. Horses, a whale out to sea, avocets and stilts among the gulls, just so marvellous being out and about, breathing deeply and feeling strong.

I have now walked over 1400km in 7 months in preparation for our Ultra Walk in Namaqualand, that is the distance from Johannesburg to Cape Town. It is one of those 'who would have imagined' moments. Delighted about how this year has shaped up for Fred and me. 

The next target is 1000 miles....
