GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - The next Wessa coastal geology tour on Saturday 24 August will focus on an exceptionally beautiful stretch of our coastline, from Robberg at Plettenberg Bay to Gericke’s Point at Sedgefield.
Wessa Eden's self-drive geology tours over the past few years have proved to be extremely popular.
They were led by local geologists to three areas of geological interest, namely the Little Karoo Circuit, the Kammanassie, and the coastal section from Mossel Bay to Wilderness Heights. The new geology tour should satisfy participants' interest as much. Everyone will meet at 08:00 on Saturday 24 August in Plettenberg Bay where registration will take place and an introductory geological overview will be given.
Participants will be divided into three groups under the expert guidance of Paul Rixon, Peter Ginn and Colin Ralston. The self-drive guided tour will visit five different geosites: Robberg, Kranshoek, Knysna East Heads, Brenton Road and Gericke’s Point. Your picnic lunch will be enjoyed at the beautiful Kranshoek picnic site in the Harkerville area.
The cost is R100 per person and proceeds go to the Wessa Education Fund.
Additional costs are: Entrance fees - R50 at Robberg, R34 at Kranshoek, or present your Wild Card. Breakfast will be enjoyed at The Lookout Deck (about R70-R80.
A menu with two breakfast options will be circulated to participants, and orders will be placed with the restaurant up-front). Bring your own picnic lunch, refreshments and seating.
