The Melck Run 2006
See pictures from the Melck Run
here.
A successful first running of the Western Cape's
version of the "long row" was held on 18th June 2006. Racing (or
rowing) started from Kersefontein,
a farm owned by Julian Melck, and ended at Kruispad, owned by his brother
Arthur. The total distance rowed was about 18 kilometres.
Afterwards all rowers returned to Kersefontein for a braai and the usual
restrained celebrations.
Further information, photographs and reports are
being sourced.
At this stage let us record our thanks to:
- Guy du Sautoy for organising the event.
- Julian and Arthur Melck for allowing us access to
their farms.
- The supporters, drivers and rescue launch pilots
for being there for us.
- The rowers for participating.
