Simon Said...............
I met Nicola when we were
both running the Round the Rock ultra marathon http://www.roundtherock.co.uk/ a 48 mile trail run round the coast of Jersey, Channel
Islands. Nicola was in Jersey to assist with group training sessions, run
the race and promote South Africa as a sports destination. I recently
visited Cape Town on business and wanted to make sure I took advantage of the
opportunity to run in one of the most iconic trail running destinations in
the world! I contacted Nicola to discuss the options available and she
arranged everything including transport for an early morning start to miss the
hottest part of the day. We ran the Pipe Track on Table Mountain and the
Kirstenbosch botanical gardens route. It was a great experience - made
all the better by having an experienced local guide. The conditions were
perfect for trail running and the views were totally awesome. Cape Town
is certainly the most memorable and beautiful place I have ever run!
