Joburg dawn raid

[Amanda Watson]

I'm planning a trip to the inner city at dawn on 16 October, Sunday. Going to meet at Con Hill then go where the wind blows us. Idea is to get into dodgier areas while everyone is still asleep then make use of awesome Spring light.

According to time and date sunrise is at 05H33 so will meet at Con Hill at 05H00.

Of course, all dependent on clear skies so keep an eye on weather at aforementioned link.

If all goes well, you should be out of there by 07H00 which will leave Expo attendees plenty time to go.

Let me know if you're interested? Also, if you're not coming, let me know of any great spots, I'm still an immigrant to Joburg.

What day is this?

Confirm you're talking about Joburg CBD or Hillbrow?
