Day 1: Charity Braai & Fun Hike in Joburg

In true South African style, we inaugurated the cross-country charity hike with a braai (barbeque) and fun hike at Bezuidenhout Park in Johannesburg today. It was great to see old friends, raise some money for our cause and take our last relaxed hike together as a team before we set off across South Africa tomorrow…

We've purchased our food (140 cans of tuna, 20 jars of peanut butter, 16 boxes of long life milk, etc.), mapped our route, said our goodbyes and started to pack our bags...just a few short hours and we'll be on the road!
