Grootvadersbosch Trail Lab | Day 1
The Grootvadersbosch Trail Lab weekender camp promised special moments shared with like minded people out on the exquisite and diverse trails of Grootvadersbosch.

The moring started at sun rise, with a wet trail shoes after a few river crossings and as the sun hit the valley we crested the first hill overlooking the forest covered valley and then dropped into the Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve. It is a world Heritage site boasting the oldest and tallest redwoods in SA.

During the stunning 24km trail run Landi and Christiaan Greyling gave us invaluable skills advice on how to tackle hills and prep for long days out on the trails, with special attention being paid to what and when to drink.

Now we are all resting up for the night run... which is been organised by Christian and he has assured us it'll be more of a night adventure mission than a run. We're looking forward to more mud and fun times with new friends.
