Paradyskloof+ Alt Trail Run

Our trail grading: ORANGE 6A

Distance: 7km

Extremeness: Dusty and dangerously warm

Location: Paradyskloof, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Joggers: Deryck Nel & me

This afternoon we went for our regular Paradyskloof+ jog. It was Deryck's birthday and he was trying out his new Salomons in extremely hot weather! We started up the normal single track, but turned right at the abandoned house. This took us down to the foot of Stellenbosch mountains, after which we had to ascend again. The view at least made up for our struggle in the, did I mention, extremely hot weather! We followed our typical Friday route but was struggling most of the way. It was fun none the less, but I can't wait for those gloomy weather swamp sessions during the winter!
