"You have to be willing to give up the life you planned, and instead, greet the life that is waiting for you." "Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us." "Cancer cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot conquer the spirit."

We had more than 80 hikers register for this hike and 64 hikers showed up on the day. Many were too tired from the celebrations of the Rugby World Cup victory which we understood, nonetheless, we arose early to welcome our hikers and prepare for an incredibly rewarding hike.

The owners at Sterkfontein Heritage Lodge were excellent hosts.

Each hiker who completed the hike received a complimentary cooling towel.
