14km + children + sun + hangover = painful. I imagine the 7 hours of walking, plus 2 hours of watching them swim (scream) in a blindingly cold river added up to approximately the equivalent 5km of cardio. Hurumph – keep telling myself it could have been a bit of a leg strengthener.

Notes:
Du Toitskloof trail
Distance: 14km (that’s a 5km run if I’m being generous)
