Caxton Reynolds Race heats up
The Caxton Reynolds Race is almost over and teams are working hard to reach the top three spots on the leader board.
The tension is building as we near the end of the Caxton Reynolds Race, where top teams are battling to get into the top three places to stand a chance to win a trip to Mauritius.
Two legs remain and the three teams with the most points on the log will participate in the final race, which will take place at the Boksburg Rugby Club, on September 21.
Last week’s task led the teams to Springs, where they had to find a white spade at the oldest house in Springs, the De Oude Huiz Tea Garden & Gift Shop.
Afterwards they had to visit the Tibbott Memorial, which commemorates the death of Robin Tibbott (7), son of the Tibbott family, who died in a landslide on March 21, 1907, just behind the old house.
Extra pit stops in this leg were the well-known windmill and the old fire station.
