A demanding chore for nearly 6 weeks: wake up, pick up your equipment and walk - day in, day out! And just when you think you can get comfortable and in autopilot rhythm, you realize you have to use all your senses to watch, learn, count, observe, take pictures, make mental notes and study.

In choosing Footsteps to Good Hope, we hoped to achieve just that: to be more meaningful than just a name, a few words stringed together.įootsteps to Good Hope firstly, asks the attention for the physical journey of 977 km on foot: a gruelling 30 km per day hike, in December's best hot summer weather with the sand of the beach reflecting the brilliance of the sun. It has to have a deeper meaning - more than just what the eye can see. It has to mean something to you, but also to everyone hearing it. Choosing a name for a cause can be as difficult and challenging as choosing your child's name. What's in a name? Quite a lot, where Footsteps to Good Hope is concerned.
