    Grade 10 pupils from The Diocesan School for Girls and St Andrew’s College are back from the annual John Jones Fish River Journey, a 21-day epic adventure that begins at the source of the Fish River and ends at its mouth.

    Grade 10 pupils from The Diocesan School for Girls and St Andrew’s College are back from the annual John Jones Fish River Journey, a 21-day epic adventure that begins at the source of the Fish River and ends at its mouth.

    The trip gives pupils an opportunity to explore the true beauty of the Eastern Cape via canoe, bicycle and on foot.

    The first few days were characterised by extreme cold, including snow and sleet, twisted ankles and the first taste of the challenges to be faced along the way. Once the groups were in their stride they made short work of most of the hiking, cycling, canoeing and running.

    Typically, the Journey presents each person with his or her own unique challenge. For some, the physical aspect is daunting, for others the prospect of spending so much time in other people’s company is a new experience, dealing with the fear of snakes, spiders and other creepy crawlies can be terrifying to some.

    Hiking in the rain and mud can test one’s patience to the extreme, while for some youngsters spending 21 days with oneself is testing. Photo: Supplied
