Hi Trailers.
This week's run will offer us a good climb in some cooler weather.
Route details
Starting from the Cecilia Forest car park, we'll warm up running through the cork forest parallel to the road towards Constantia Nek until we meet the boom just above Southern Cross drive, where we'll turn right and loop back on ourselves keeping left at the fork and sticking to the jeep track running above the SANParks compound until the "big tree" intersection. Here we'll ascend the steep trail to Cecilia Waterfall.
A little further along the trail from the waterfall, we'll start climbing up Cecilia Ridge until we pop out on the concrete path with the Overseer's Cottage to our right where we'll enjoy the views and the breathlessness. From here we can opt for an extension to loop around the dams or head straight back down on the Constantia Nek jeep track.
Since we all agree that jeep tracks are rather boring, we'll leave the degraded road/gravel at "look-out bend" (see map) and follow the single track zig zagging down through the trees, emerging at the jeep track at the first Rooikat trailhead. Continuing down the single track through the trees, we'll rejoin the jeep track that will take us down to our cars.
This is a social pack run led by committee with plenty of opportunities for photographs, and it's important that we look out for each other!
