The guys from Paradise Padstal met us with open arms and some lunch as we passed through Victoeia West. What a great bunch of guys.
And look who popped in as well: Andy Smith. Here is what he had to say:
"On my way back from the Cape, 5km outside Victoria West I noticed a lone walker on the road. At 120km/h you flash by so quickly but wondered if it was Johann, the guy walking from Pretoria to Cape Town in aid of the QASA Arrive Alive campaign. We carried on, discussing the chances it was him...we thought it strange that there was no back up vehicle. After 20km I was certain it must have been him so I turned around to find him to offer him a drink, encourage, praise and thank him for his efforts. By the time we caught up with him he had reached a roadside watering hole and was with his back up crew. He looked in great shape. Well done Johann!
This is my journey across South Africa on foot. A sublime expedition through one of the most beautiful countries on God’s earth. My attempt will be solo, unsupported, with but my boots, a tent and my trailer. I’m walking because I can. I’m walking because I have to. I’m walking because there are people who can’t, but I can.
