The long day
We had perfect weather for what is traditionally our toughest day of walking on the Mountains in the Sea Trail.
Here is a picture of most of the group early in the day.

We saw this magnificent Tree Pagoda Mimetes with the city in the background. We stopped here for a while and discussed the remarkable adaptations of this plant to pre
dator avoidance and coping with low nutrient conditions.
Many hours later, the group was still going strong heading toward Chapman's Peak
