Started the walk with 17
The forecast was for 27c, but right from the start it felt much warmer
Fortunately the first part of the walk had some shade
After an hour or so were joined by Terry (second from right)
He arrived late at the start, but managed to catch us up
He had to choose at a T junction, and fortunately made the right choice
This is the first time we have increased the number during a walk
It was nearly noon when we had our banana break
It is a lovely spot with great views, but no shade
But we needed the rest, even if it was uncomfortably hot
Fortunately the next section is downhill
And we had lots of water stops, and to admire the views
It was too exposed at our planned picnic spot
So we agreed to push on to the alterative choice
I had noted this as a possible alternative with good shade
It was lovely and cool and a welcome break from the heat
It was also the last shaded area for the remainder of the walk
We were passed by two vehicles on a “safari”
Very envious to see them travelling in such cool comfort
After walk drinks at Bon Aire were even more welcome than usual
Time taken – 5 hours
Distance – 10 km
Total ascent – 350 metres
Temperature – 27c
