| Jeff’s introduction
to the
hiking club came about by him being in the next bed to Denise Hopkins,
both donating blood at the time! When he bemoaned the fact that the doctor had told him to cease playing squash, Denise invited him to attend a hike. So he arrived with a friend on a Wednesday evening to hike up to Eagles nest at Constantia nek. The two had contemplated but then dismissed the idea of taking a beer along, only to discover at the top that almost everybody else had brought a dop of sorts! This and the discovery that he was not the most unfit person on the hike encouraged him to eventually join the club. At the next AGM Denise as the Chairperson persuaded Jeff to take on the position of Treasurer, stating it was just "taking a couple of cheques to bank now and then". Too late did he realize his mistake, but fortunately his wife Lynn has a degree in Financial Management. The rest, as they say, is history. Jeff describes himself as very much a fair weather hiker, but says the pleasure he obtains from hiking is like nothing else, each hike is a unique experience and thoroughly enjoyable. He enjoys weekends away and is looking forward to carrying out his first trail later in the year. |
