Pondoland C.R.E.W. gathered together in scarcity and made their way to Cascades. It was "Youth Day" and Debbie understood in its entirety what the meaning of the word was and so plunged herself into the icy cool water, our maximum temperature for the day was around thirteen degrees. Wim Hof would have been very proud of her for being so brave swimming. But who could resist such a clean pool that no-one swims in. Carpe diem.
The two special's of the day were Crassula sarmentosa var. integrifolia which is classified as rare and Clivia robusta which is Vulnerable A2cd; B1ab(ii,iii,v).
