Battlefield Walk & Talk

The Friends of the BCA invite you to join them on a guided 5-6 km Battlefield Walk & Talk taking place on Saturday 25th March 2017.

Get an overview of the Battle of Blaauwberg, walk the route taken by the British 1st Brigade on their march from Melkbosstrand into position on 8th January 1806. Follow in the footsteps of the 2nd Brigade Scottish Highland Regiments as they charged the Batavian line, and establish where General Janssens assembled his Batavian defence line against the invading British force.

A map and brief of the Battle will be provided to assist in your understanding of this historic event which influenced Africa. The talk is led by registered field tour guide Dave Honour who is also an expert on KZN battle sites.

Meet at 8am on the dirt road opposite the entrance of Zonnekus Holiday Resort . Take a sun hat, sun cream, water and something to eat, as there will be a picnic on Blaauwberg Hill

The event is free for Friends of BCA members. A donation of R30 for non members.
