shoes: Inov8 race-ultra 270
Jog to top of jacobs ladder to meet Jono, then along the contour path to constantia nek, up constantia corner, devilliers dam, smuts track, top of nursery ravine path to dams, a quick ice bath in hely hutchinson while he headed back down.
Tthen up the disa river+ along the aquaduct, back onto smuts track and towards maclears, then spent a while trying to find the start of the hiddingh ascension route. Eventually found it after a bit of scrambling. Quick visit to the pulpit on the way down, but then somehow thought I was on the wrong path, so bundubashed for a while trying to find where I thought the path should be. No luck, so decided to just make my own route down... Not the best of ideas. Spent over an hour fighting my way through bushes and getting cliffed out a few times before eventually getting to the contour path.
Then back via the newlands river+reservoir.
*note* Logging the descent as hiking. Cant put it in the same bracket as running.. :/
