I had the privilege to be invite by Jacques Mouton to do Cradock Peak with him and 6 other trail runners this morning. We started our extreme jog at Witfontein (at 5am) with about 1.5km of jeep track. The rest was awesome Outeniqua single track all the way to the Cradock Peak. The scenery was truly spectacular and the altitude gain a decent 1300m!
