Tomorrows run is on
General: Weather forecast is a moderate 19 degrees and partly cloudy. Our routes this Saturday are in Cape Point. We'll be joining the Trail Fun Adventures group.

There are three route options: 26km, 18km, and 13km. All start at the Buffelsbay parking. Cape Point Funicular, tagging the Lighthouse, then make our way down to Cape of Good Hope and looping back in the direction of Buffelsbay. Once trail meets road at the 17km mark (Buffelsbay Road), the 18km heads back down to the parking and the 26km group proceeds on the trails on the opposite side for additional fun times! The 13km route is the same as the 18km route but excludes the Cape of Good Hope loop.
Walking Group: No walking group tomorrow.

RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - Saturday 24 May 2025 - Diagonal / Porcupine Ravine / Woody Ravine
Hi Trailers
Our run tomorrow is ON.
The weather looks cool and clear, but please do come prepared with layers!
See you at 7.15am.
There will be a relaxed group doing a different route, but no walkers.

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - Saturday 24 May 2025 - Diagonal / Porcupine Ravine / Woody Ravine
Hi all Trailers
This week we will be starting from Theresa Ave in Camps Bay.
Route:
We start at Theresa Ave and climb up to meet the pipetrack and turn left to find the Diagonal path. After a steep climb up (hopefully with a bit of water trickling past us), there are many options depending on time constraints. Instead of turning right at the top of Diagonal we will continue straight and head for Porcupine Ravine and explore a little at the top before descending via Woody Ravine. From there it is 2km jog along the pipetrack down to the cars.
Rendezvous:
We meet in Theresa Ave (see below for directions) at 7.15am. Please adhere to parking restrictions (yellow and red lines) and be considerate to all residents. Parking is limited. Please park along the seaside and make sure that your car is facing the correct direction.
Terrain and distance:
This is mostly single track with a bit a of jeep track at the start and end. This route does have some exposure and a little rock scrambling, some steep climbs and descents, but the views are definitely worth it!
The distance is around 10km and there are ample routes for those who want a bit of extra distance.
For those who would prefer a less challenging route, Missing Link is an option, as well as an out and back along the Pipetrack to Slangholie. We will have a designated leader for this group, starting from the same place.
Directions:
Coming from town, pass the turnoff to the cable car at the Kloof Nek circle and continue down towards Camps Bay, taking the 3rd road to the left (Fiskaal Road). Follow this road up the hill - it winds up and around and becomes Francolin Ave and then Theresa Ave.
Remember:
Water, Whistle, Warm/windproof/rain top, ICE information and a snack.
Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, and we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning.
Please remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to make sure the people behind you see which way you are going.
Leaders of each group will ensure that no-one is left behind. Please keep the groups together and ensure that no-one is left on their own.
Dogs
Please note that K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.
Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.
Any queries welcome.
