The event in a nutshell

On Wednesday, 24 Feb 2010, Wouna and Gerry will embark on a 3-week unsupported endurance walk through the Klein Karoo from Jeffreys Bay on the Cape East Coast to Yzerfontein on the West Coast, via the R62 route, a journey of approximately 800 km. The towns and settlements visited during the walk will include Humansdorp, Kareedouw, Joubertina, Misgund, Haarlem, Avontuur, Uniondale, Buffelsdrif, Herold, Oudtshoorn, Calitzdorp, Ladismith, Barrydale, Montagu, Robertson, Worcester, Wellington, Malmesbury, Darling and Yzerfontein.

The aim of the walk is to raise awareness of the critical water situation in South Africa and the world. We will be doing regular updates of the progress of the walk on our Blogspot (walkingforwater.blogspot.com), Facebook page and Twitter, and hope others will also contribute to these sites. We are aware of a number of local and international charity and aid organisations doing great work in the water environment, which we will be promoting via the above communication channels. We would encourage people to support these organisations as far as possible.
