The trail is a moderately difficult trail so with a minimum amount of fitness most of us will be able to enjoy the trail and not suffer the consequences. There are some non hiking people in our group and they have already said that they refuse to hike so they will stay at the base camp and do whatever lazy people do.
There is no need to bring hiking boots for the trail is very easy. It is recommended to bring a costume because there are a couple of streams with plunge pools that are deep enough to swim in. Since we are hiking from a base camp we need to take picnic food for the hike and since there is a refrigerator in the camp we cam bring perishables. In the evenings we are going to eat together. We have to bring our own meat if we want meat and then we have been divided into groups of 5-6 people where we bring a vegetable or starch.
The general plan is to get there on Friday night and hopefully the people that managed to get there early managed to get a fire going so we can start to cook. On Saturday we would like to do an hour or so walk until we get to a pool where we can swim and play around. I have bought a bottle of wine to drink whilst at the pool. Those people that feel energetic can continue to hike. I am going to do a geocache called Old Mac. In the evening we are going to have a friends Christmas party where we will give out gifts. We were told to buy a unisex gift for R30 ($3.50). I managed to find something fun and something practical and I went for the practical gift. On Sunday we will get up, have breakfast and leave for home in the late morning or early afternoon.
I will have a lot of pictures of the area to put on the blog when I get back.
