She {Megan}walked the Knysna

Hallo all!






Just a quick share on some photos Megan brought back from her trip to Knysna.  Every year the Grade 11's read the book "Kringe in 'n Bos" written by Dalleen Mathee, then they have to pass all tests on this book and then they qualify to go walk the Knysna woods. Of course we must buy all the equipment like bags, stoves,sleeping bags,etc. and the travelling costs to Hartenbos can be paid through the year.  The trip from here is very long, almost 21hours, that I think is very hard on them.  Then there is 5 routes they can choose from, they are all between 50km's and 57km's.  Route 2 was the one Megan went on, that route is 57km's and includes a few rivers and mountains to cross.  She and her group of friends completed every day's route successfully. So here are some photies:)
