Another Memorable Beach Walk!

Our largest group yet, 78 hikers, set out from Buffelsjags for an incredible 9.1 km round trip to Quoin Point. The weather was perfect, and the warm water tempted many to kick off their takkies and splash in the shallows.

Highlights included:

• A scenic breakfast stop at Quoin Point
• A fascinating talk on the area's history, shipwrecks, and the geology of the Bredasdorp Group
• Welcoming special guests from Finland and England

As the tide rolled in, we made our way back, laughing, sharing stories, and capturing unforgettable moments.

Thank you to everyone who joined us - what a fantastic day!
