Billy has teamed up with the mob down at Hemel
and Aarde Valley in Hermanus who know a thing or
two about staging a jol. The terrain out there
is classic for trail running and there is a
distance to suite everyone; so no excuses. If
you're on top of your game, all three events can
be tackled and it just seems a perfect curtain
raiser for Total Sports Challenge campaigners.
Book some accommodation, dust off the bike,
clean your ears, flare your nostrils and be
there!
Entries can be secured at

OR for the "front bunchers" wanting to know the

Accommodation is available at the Hermanus
Esplanade, which is self catering and very
reasonably priced for this time of year.
