Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Joggers: Chienne Wolmarans, Francois du Toitt, Gary Byrne, Ryan Tracey, Thaine Sasman
Today we did an epic extreme jog! We started the run with a 1km warm-up, before hitting the Platteklip Gorge trail. At the top the lazy guys headed towards the cable car for a boring way down, while Thaine and I headed through Echo Valley towards the reservoirs. After lifting our sugar levels by eating quite a few brambles, we descended down Nursery Ravine's stairs. Our run finished at Kirstenbosch's gate - after completely getting lost inside Kirstenbosch.
