  • Expedition 2020 Report Expedition Route
    Strandloper Project : Expedition 2020 Report Expedition Route. Expedition 2020 was staged in two sections; the first 12 days hiking the shoreline from Nature’s Valley to Wilderness between the 1st and 13th October followed by four days hiking the Otter Trail from the 24th to the 27th October. The total distance of coastline hiked was 205km along a mix of rocky and sandy shoreline. Where the terrain along the coastline permitted, we surveyed for washed up plastic pollution and fishing debris along the route. The Dirty Half Dozen For the 2020 expedition, the core research team had the addition of Pam Booth to replace Dr Louw Claassens who accepted a marine research post in Palau. From left to right, the research team with their acquired nicknames were : • Lisa Leslie - Limpet • Mark Dixon – Mussels • Amanda Dixon – Angel Fish • Pam Booth – Clever Clam • Chris Leggatt - Calamari • Melinda Morkel - Lara Croft The success of the expedition was deeply rooted in the unified passion for marine conservation by each member, and the concern of the threat that plastic pollution and fishing debris has on ocean health and marine biodiversity. Accompanying the research team on various stages of the expedition were Kei Heyns (manager of the Robberg Coastal Corridor), Keith Spenser (Cape Nature Catchment Area Manager) and Wayne Meyer (Cape Naturemarine ranger at Goukamma) and Mandie Janse van Rensberg (honorary member). pg. 1 Strandloper Project Expedition 2020 Report Data Capture All our data is captured electronically using Cybertracker, an information capture platform that records a geo reference for each dataset.

Especially when you try to capture the soul of a specific route, it really becomes a daunting undertaking. The Outeniqua Choo Tjoe route holds a special “something” to all of those who had the privilege of travelling this route, locals and tourists from overseas. We have tried within the limitations of a computer simulator to create it as good as we possibly can. Over the years many features of this route have changed and it is difficult to establish which features belong to which era. In this route we have tried to create the route as it was before the damage occurred which rendered this route unusable. We just hope it can give some satisfaction to people who knew the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe route before its sad demise. Maybe it can live a little bit longer in this way. 4. Winter scenarios Creating a winter scenario with snow on this route in Train Simulator, is not very realistic for this region.
