On a Friday night, beginning of June, Pastor Phil, Piet Janse van Rensburg, and Francois and Abednego took Kyle, Joel, Munya, and Pietie for a walk from Heidelberg Christian School to Riversdale. The walk was along the railway track and partly dirt road.
The first evening was spent sleeping in a shed next to the railway line on the farm of Ena Gillomee and her husband. The shed, comprising of all their farm equipment, proved to be a wonderful haven from the cold outside. Around the campfire, many funny stories were told and the braai was well enjoyed by all.
The following morning saw the men walking past some beautiful scenery and a couple of game farms. Who knew that there were emus in the area? Well, there are, and if you’d like to see some, come with us next year.
If you are wondering where the train was, well, he went past earlier on, which left the whole track to them.

Well done to all who completed the entire walk, especially Pietie, who was our youngest walker. The walk was about 38km in total.
