Double ‘D’ walk to ignite hope
They will be walking from the Mozambique border to the Namibian border in an attempt to set a new record.
Two young men, ironically both named Damian, but spelled differently, have embarked on a journey to walk the entire South African coastline which comprises of four provinces and a total of around 3200 kilometres.
Founder Damian Honneysett (21) is walking with Damien Laird (34) to create awareness of the environmental and socio-economical impact of the coastline.
They will be walking from the Mozambique border to the Namibian border in an attempt to set a new record.
In a nutshell, they want to highlight the effect or interconnection between the coastal towns and hospitality and how this influences conservation and vice-versa.
The pair are walking to create positivity, to share a smile and happiness and to reignite hope in South Africans, as they believe that if they put their head down and endure, no matter how tough they can achieve.
Join them on their journey to reignite hope and prosperity.
“Together we can show the true meaning of what it is to be a South African both as a people and as a beautiful country,” they said.
They walkers met up with folk from the Green Net in Umtentweni yesterday.
They plan to reach Ramsgate and Southbroom by today (Thursday) and be in Port Edward by Friday where they will meet their supporters at the Marlin Ski-Boat Club on Port Edward main beach in the afternoon. The ski-boat club will provide the braai facilities for the meet and greet.
Honneysett is looking forward to seeing his grandmother, Yvonne Filer who lives in Port Edward.
