RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 28 November 2020 - Kalk Bay into Silvermine East

Hi Trailers!

 

This Saturday we explore Silvermine East starting from Kalk Bay.

.

Route

 

We park in the parking at Kalk Bay Station next to Cape to Cuba. We bounce up the stairs to Boyes Drive and cross the road to wind our way up Weary Willy's. From Weary Willy's junction we all go straight up Echo Valley.

At the top the medium and relaxed group will turn right to the amphitheatre and the fast group will turn left to go around on Dead Man's Path.

 

Relaxed group: Go through the amphitheatre and down the Crassula Path to the jeep track. Turn right and follow the jeep track turning right at the junction which will take you all the way back to Weary Willy's where you make your way back down to the cars – around 8km

 

Medium group: Go through the amphitheatre and down the Crassula Path to the jeep track. Turn right and then left at the first single track to the next jeep track. Turn right on to the jeep track and then right again on to the jeep track at junction pool. Just before Nellie's Pool turn right on to the single track, cross the jeep track and continue through Speciosa Valley, past Tartarus cave and then left down Spes Bona Valley back to Weary Willy's and back to the cars – around 10km

 

Fast group: Coming off Dead Man's Path continue straight on the jeep track and cross above the waterfall and turn right on to the next jeep track. After 300m turn left on to single track which comes out at Junction Pool. Here there is the option to follow the medium group route or visit Muizenberg Cave and follow the jeep track to Weary Willy's and home – around 12km

 

Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 6:25am at Kalk Bay station parking. We start running at 6h30am

 

Terrain and distance
Undulating single track and jeep track with an uphill from Kalk Bay to the amphitheatre junction.

.

RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 21 November 2020 - Corridor Ravine and Grootkop

Hi Trailers!

 

Our run tomorrow is ON. Weather looks good – not too hot and a gentle wind but please always come prepared for all weather.

 

There will be NO relaxed or walking group.

 

But the medium group may well split into 2 and do both routes.

 

See you there

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 21 November 2020 - Corridor Ravine and Grootkop

 

Hi Trailers!

 

This Saturday we go up Table Mountain via Corridor Ravine to get to the 360 degree view from Grootkop. Back down Kasteelspoort.

.

 

Route

 

We park on Theresa Ave in Camps Bay – See directions below – and go up the jeep track keeping right until we reach the Pipe Track

We turn right and run along the Pipe Track, passing Woody Ravine until we take a left turn up Corridor. Once at the top we turn right and follow the track to Grootkop, turning right off the track to get to the top

After admiring the view, we re-trace our steps passing Corridor – possibly deviating to Tranquillity Cracks (time dependent) – till we get to Kasteelspoort where we descend to the Pipe Track and back down the jeep Track to the cars

 

For those that don't want to do Corridor and Grootkop, a shorter option is to go up Woody, turn left and go down Kasteelspoort. Also a good route.

Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 6:25am at Theresa Ave. We start running at 6h30am

 

Terrain and distance
Mostly single track except for the trek up to the pipe track. A climb to the top, flowing single track with a short climb to the top of Grootkop

The route is around 11km with the Woody Ravine option around 7km. The climbs take time so be sure to factor this in.

Groups
We will split into speed groups and possibly smaller groups as per regulations (keeping each other in sight) - with leaders and sweeps on the morning. 

The relaxed group will be confirmed on Friday

Dogs
Please note that  K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.

 

What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top, rain jacket- weather dependent, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

The weather can change fast on the top of the mountain. Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water

Important: 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. 

 

Directions to Theresa Ave:

 

From Cape Town, drive past the entrance to the Cable Car and continue down Camps Bay Drive. Turn left at the third road – Fiskaal – and zig zag up the mountain. The road becomes Francolin and eventually Theresa.

Park on the Sea side of the road facing the correct direction. Don't block any residents driveways.

 

Please remember to adhere to the COVID principles below:

 

• No gathering in a big group at start or end of the run
• All runners to carry a mask or buff
• Practice social distancing
• We will break into small groups as per regulations while we run

To: Table Mountain Trailers Group <tmtrailers@googlegroups.com>

Hello Trailers!

This week we'll take a climb up Cecilia Ridge and check the water levels in the dams.

Brief Description of Route

We'll take the steps up from the carpark and keep following the trail up until we reach the upper contour path. Then we continue up Rooikat Ravine, passing the waterfall, until we reach the bottom of Cecilia Ridge. We turn up the ridge and pop out close to De Villiers Dam/the Overseers cottage. We'll then take the Ash Valley path to the dams, and head back down the road, zigzagging our way down, either via the jeep track almost to the Nek, where we'll dip into the cork forest alongside Rhodes Drive and back to the cars. Alternatively, we can dip into the trees and wind our way down the 'shortcut' path.
The longer faster group may extend the route by taking a trip all the way around the dams.

Rendezvous and Start Time 

Cecilia Parking Area just off Rhodes Avenue at the top of Hohenort Avenue, 6:20 ready to start at 6:30am.

 

Terrain and Distance

A mix of single track and jeep track with a good amount of elevation. Distance 12-14kms which should take between 2 and 2.5 hours.

What to bring

Water, whistle, warm/windproof top, rain jacket if applicable, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack. Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water.

 

Relaxed Group

Relaxed Group to be confirmed on Friday.

 

Important: 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. 

 

No dogs allowed on our runs .
