Report:
Six happy souls met at Richard’s campground, thermos’s and home made? goodies in hand. Naturally after such a long drive (and such an early Saturday morning start) we needed proper nourishment before our walk.
We were on the track by 10am – right on schedule! Beeripmo is a lovely easy overnight walk but is a good workout to do it in the day. We decided to get the hills over first – before the heat of the day. The track was very dry –dryer than I have seen it before. We kept our eyes and ears open for snakes. No snakes to be seen, but one vigilant member did spot a solitary leech. Poor skinny thing it was – must be one tough cookie to survive the drought! Yes, it was desperately making its way towards human warmth but no, it was not successful in it’s quest!
We finished in good time – must be one fit bunch of walkers and headed into Beaufort for the mandatory (proper) coffee! We were delighted to discover a little French café – with a real French owner. They had beautiful home made pies – which were snapped up for an easy tea by some. Lovely coffee, with an array of cakes (for the porkers among us) and Miss Personality plus serving! Talk about service with a smile! Between his lovely French accent and her wit, we were thoroughly entertained while we imbibed!
The perfect day – a great workout, great weather, great company, beautiful coffee and amusing entertainment! Who could ask for more!
Well done Coralie – thank you!
