Union High School’s Grade 10s spent the afternoon hiking in the hills around Mountain Drive today, in preparation for their 5-day Odyssey, on which they will be embarking at the end of this week.
During their time away, they will wild camp as they hike down the Gats River canyon from Nieu-Bethesda to Graaff-Reinet.
The practice hike today allowed the adventurers to acclimatize to their laden packs and to experience walking off-road.
