Blue Horizon Bay to Van Stadens River Mouth.
A 2.5 hour walk along a beautiful beach

 Ally had a late night on Wednesday night with her friend Kelsey.  So Ally sleeps most of the way to Blue Horizon Bay.  We take the turn off from the N2

 Alan  explains the nature of this hike.  We will go in one big group and those wishing to cut short can turn at any time.

 This is Ally's first time to walk in this group.  Here she is with David and Carol.

 Over the dunes and down to the beach.  It is low tide so walking is reasonably easy on hard sand.

The beach we walked today is vast; natural and quite undisturbed by the impact of people.

 We walk for about an hour before arriving at the river mouth where we stop for a break and snack.

 Ally and I had a great walk and enjoyed a bit of one on one time as we chatted about a variety of subjects.

 Someone in the group found this seagull with a damaged wing.  We took the bird to the Sea rescue place at Cape Recife --- SANCCOB

At Sanccob the staff were quite responsive and caring as they put the bird in a box for transport to a vet who will decide on what should be done with the bird.

The whole walk took us around 2.5 hours.  Great exercise; wonderful company and conversation and to top it all we had perfect weather to walk these undisturbed beaches.
