On the 21st of January, a brave few adventurous scouts, friends and parents of 1st Claremont set out on a quest of getting to Klassenkop without anyone dying. On the extremely dangerous journey up, the adventurers were met with many a challenge (e.g. Daniel’s choice of route and Daniel himself). Luckily everyone got up fine, even with Caleb being part of the group.
The brave group had wanted to see the beautiful wildlife but Daniel and Caleb’s raucous laughter scared away every living organism for 1,5km. They even had some insane scouts trying to climb sheer rock faces just for fun.
After some hours of the tough hiking, the party arrived at their destination — Klassenkop. Here they had an incredible time discovering new obstacles and overcoming challenges and just generally exploring the area and the incredible view.
After the group had conquered Klassenkop, they headed down the other side to De Villiers Dam which is where the tragedy happened…
The group had to split up for completely unknown reasons (half wanted to swim). So, leaving each other, the 2 halves went their separate ways, both never seeing each other again…
….Until the next meeting.
Thank you all who went on the hike it was really fun.
