Sporting fun had, objectives met during 12th BUCO Easter Adventure Weekend
The Buco Adventure Weekend of 2019, which took place from April 19-21, can once again be called a resounding success, and event organiser James Stewart says he is toked that all the objectives laid out for this annual event have yet again been met.
The trail run, mountain bike, and surf ski routes all showed off in some way or another the natural beauty of Plettenberg Bay, whereas the weekends were chosen beneficiary received substantial mileage and funds.
“Saturday’s runs and rides at Cairnbrogie and in the surrounding MTO plantations all served to show this area’s recovery from the 2017 fires, while competitors were also spoilt with views of the stunning sea cliffs so unique to this corner of the Garden Route,” says Stewart.
All of the events catered for young and old, the fit and not so fit, and add to that the food and refreshments on offer in this working dairy farm’s yard, there certainly was something for everyone.
The sight of 11 of Plett’s finest professional and volunteer firefighters crossing the 5knt trail run finishing line served as an inspiration for many at Cairnbrogie on Saturday morning.
“BUCO committed to donating R5.000 to the #Sounds-theCall charity, which supports our volunteer firefighters,” says Stewart, adding that this went a long way to keep the awareness alive.
“We are far from immune to fires like the ones which ravaged the Garden Route over the last couple of years. So we thank everyone for their contribution, from the sponsors to the athletes and their families, and stallholders whose sales went a long way to supporting this important cause.”
