It was a chilly morning when I met Paul at the Wine Village in Hermanus. Mist was driving in from the sea and the Hemel en Aarde Valley was slowly waking up. Paul had invited me to test drive the 12 km trail run that is part of his new event, the Groenberg 12 km Trail Run and 6 km Fun Run to be held in the Hemel en Aarde Valley on Saturday 11 August. As a trail running enthusiast and always on the lookout for different experiences, I was intrigued to find out what this route held in store.
