Saturday 26th January: Woody Ravine, Valley of Red Gods, Kasteelspoort (Theresa Ave start)

Hi Trailers!

This week we go back up on to Table Mountain from the pipetrack side but start from Theresa Ave in Camps Bay at 6:30am 

Route:

We start at Theresa Ave and climb up the track to the pipetrack. Here we turn right and run along the pipetrack to Woody Ravine. We climb up Woody and turn left to run through the Valley of the Red Gods, Echo Valley and back down to the dam, going down Kasteelspoort and back down to the cars. 

For those who have time constraints, skip out the Valleys and go up Woody and down Kasteelspoort - still gives you a good workout!

RV:

We meet at Theresa Ave in Camps Bay (see below for directions) ready to run at 6:30am

Terrain and distance:

This is mostly single track with a bit a of jeep track at the start and end. Some steepish climbs and descents but well worth doing. The distance is around 12km and there are ample routes for those who want extra distance!

Directions:

Coming from town, pass the turnoff to the cable car and continue down towards Camps Bay, taking the 3rd road to the left (Fiskaal Road). Follow this road up the hill - it becomes Francolin Ave and then Theresa Ave. Parking at the entrance is limited so par along the sea side of the road as far as possible taking care not to block any residents entrances. Please ensure that your car is facing the correct direction...

Remember:

Water, Whistle, Warm/windproof/rain top, ICE information and to ensure that the person behind you knows where you have turned.

Unfortunately no dogs allowed
