Finally, we made it! I met with Susan today on the sports ground in Greenside to start the 702 walk. As the driver behind this whole thing, she was already there 7.30 am for the start at 9.30 am. Next, Wanjikou arrived - a bit coy as usual, she wanted to give us moral support only and not participate in the walk. Thank God to peer pressure, she took the spot of a no-show and became a happy walker like the rest of us. Then, Mwangi and Valentin arrived, both of them a bit confused, maybe it was the crowd or the early morning. Just before the start, Lesly and Jean graced us with their presence. And off we went.
It was a jolly walk - the area was like one big park. It was all fun and laughter - all for a good cause and for some a test of endurance. Towards the finish, they all became quieter until they could party at the arrival. And off we went to Melville for a well-deserved breakfast and plotting about the next steps for the book project. We shall be back next year and hopefully, we will have the necessary GPS to find our cars afterwards.

Yip, it was a great day. Definitely have to remember the GPS next year!! - and maybe even think of some more creative outfits
Hallo Tom,
Nice photo, I'm jealous. Sounds like you all had fun. Susan I definitely agree with the more creative outfits suggestion. The red is so aaarrrrrgggghhhh!!
Thanks for posting the picture, please share them with us via blogthinking or just send them to my e mail
We should definitely do more of those walks or hikes.
It really helps us to get to know each other better and discuss other stuff informally and spontaneously.
Thomas... the blog is dead?
Wanjiku.
Hey Thomas, lovely picture. The red tees look very inviting. How is life, work? Do keep in touch.
HI there!
Nice blog! I'm also a "foreigner" at Wits. Looks like the walk was great fun!
