NGK members embark on
local Easter walk
CHUX FOURIE
“WHY go to Spain for the
Camino when there is beautiful
weather and scenery right
here?”.
That was the thinking behind a
group of NG Kerk congregation
members who decided to
embark on a walking pilgrimage
during the Easter weekend.
So they did their own “lit tle
Camino” right on their doorstep
and incorporated it into the
church’s Easter programme.
In all, 19 people came
together, made all the plans for
transport, meals and whatever
else was needed. The supplies
were all taken to the farm
Varkenskuilen, which is owned
by Nico Smuts, that served as
their base for the two days.
On Good Friday their little bus
took them to Eienhoek, a
spectacular but little-known
gravel pass between Hofmeyr

Freedom of Entry parade through town,

the Tarka district, for an early
star t.
The group are avid walkers
and this hike was done without a
rush that meant they could really
appreciate the splendid views of
distant mountains and vast
expanses of farmland.
They stopped for a
mid-morning brunch and by
early afternoon the planned
route for the day had been
completed.
This meant some weary
walkers could get the weight off
their feet and enjoy their evening
meal.
On Saturday they started at
Huntershill, walking through a
game farm, They saw lions (one
came right up to the fence),
tigers, cheetahs and many other
wild animals, which just made
the walk all the more interesting,
before walking back to
Varkenskuilen to end the walk.

All the walking was done on
gravel roads through farming
areas and traffic was minimal,
which meant they were really
able to appreciate the solitude,
peace and quiet and the beauty
of their surroundings.
Ds Riaan Vlok has the last
word: “Everyone who attended
thoroughly enjoyed it and
LAST year the community of
Tarkastad started their pumpkin
festival and it was such a success
that it is being repeated again this
year – tomorrow in fact.
This festival is different in that it
is not held to raise funds for one
specific cause, but rather as a
platform to raise funds for any
worthy institution. So, for
example, one group might raise
funds for a home for the aged,
another for children, another for
cancer research, another to save
rhinos and yet another for
three-legged toads – each stall or
event is aimed at helping
someone or something in need ...
as long as it is not for yourself.
And just as the beneficiaries are
many and varied, so the products
and activities have no bounds in
terms of creativity and variety.
For a start, it is called the
pumpkin festival because seeds of
a very special pumpkin went on
sale several months ago and
since then people have been
nurturing, watering and feeding
the little plants, encouraging them
to grow the champion pumpkin.
Some even give their pumpkins
names!
Then on the day (tomorrow) all
these monster pumpkins are
taken along to the Tarka Club
where they are displayed and
weighed before the winner is
announced. But this is not only
about giant pumpkins – any
pumpkins may be entered in a
number of categories and there
are prizes for each.
There is also a great variety of
other attractions. This year for the
first time the MOTHs will present
the Pampoen Olympics starting at
1pm. Teams of four (which must
include at least one female)
should enter and they will
compete in items such as the
pumpkin pip spitting competition
