TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS

Hi Trailers!

Saturday 14th December sees us meet for our last official sortie of 2024. We'll run one of our old Silvermine favourites, Three Lookouts and a Peak, and celebrate the year's finale with a picnic brunch and a swim in the dam. 

Route

Starting at the car park nearest to the dam*, we'll head towards the fire lookout over Tokai, meander towards Blackburn lookout and complete the circular route via Noordhoek Peak to the Noordhoek lookout. There are options to include the Panorama path, the Crassula Path, divert to Elephant's Eye Cave and/or extend the distance with a jog down the River Walk. We'll organize group leaders and sweeps on the day. 

Rendezvous and Start Time

The main gate - the one with the SANParks checkpoint - opens at 7am so please make your way to the car park at the dam* as quickly as possible. We'll start running as soon as possible - latest 7:20am.

NB: There is no cellphone signal in Silvermine so if you are running late, there is no way to let us know. Don't be late!  

Entry fee to Silvermine is still amazing value at R42 per adult - but NB: CASH ONLY. Also remember to bring your ID book to prove you are a SA national. 

Alternatively, buy a MyGreen card at the Tokai SANParks office this week (https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table-mountain/cards-permits/my-green-card), or carry your Wild card.

Terrain and Distance

Single track, jeep track, and a little bit of rock hopping. Depending on the group you join and the whim of the day, you'll run somewhere between 8 and 12km. 

Groups

We will organise groups on the day. There will definitely be a Relaxed group (walking the ups and running the downs) adn a Walking group. Faster group TBC on Friday.

Please bring:

A whistle, WATER, a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE (In  Case of Emergency) tag or card. 

If you're staying for a Christmas picnic, please bring a cooler box with your favourite snacks and cool drinks and a cozzie. Invite your home family to join you and meet your trail family!

Unfortunately we do not welcome dogs on our runs.

See you there!

Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 7TH DECEMBER 2024 - SILVERMINE TO SEA

Good Friday Trailers,

Tomorrow's run is on! The weather seems to be clearing a little, with cool, overcast cover and a gentle breeze. Perfect trail running weather!

As far as I can ascertain, there will be a medium paced group doing the 11.75km St James Peak route, and I will be leading the slow-paced 7.5km group. 

Please remember to bring your Wild Card/My Green Card or R42 cash for the entry to the parking area.

See you there, ready to run at 7.15am.  Remember there is no cell coverage so we won't know if you're running late!

Hi Trailers,

Table Mountain Trailers run this week will be a point-to-point, mostly downhill run. We'll be running from Silvermine to the sea and joining the festivities at Chardonnay Deli in Kalk Bay with the MATES crew who are running their 24km Deli to Deli. 

Route details:

We will start at Silvermine Gate 1, the dam side, so bring your Wild Card/My Green card or entry fee to gain access. From here we'll cross the road and follow the trail past the waterfall and either stay on the same route towards the sea as the MATES runners, which will only give us 7.5 km of distance, or detour to St James' Peak to increase our legstretch to about 11.5 kms. This excursion will mean we have to do some car admin. 

https://www.strava.com/routes/3298372896386344328 (Click for Strava routemap.)

Rendezvous and Start Time:  

RV at Silvermine Gate 1 (dam side) as soon as you can after the gate opens at 7.00 am. We'll start running at 7.15 am. NB: that there can be long queues to enter in summer, so please arrive early and be prepared to wait for the gatekeeper to arrive.

  
Park in the first car park on the left, directly after the pay point. Do not drive far up the road to the dam.

 

Terrain and Distance:

Mostly single track with plenty of "down" for a change!  As we approach the end, there will be running through Kalk Bay.  Please be hyper aware of the traffic which is crazy at this time of year!

Distance: approximately 11.75 kms, taking about 2 hours. 

 

Walking Group will be confirmed on Friday.

 

Please Bring: A whistle, water, a warm /waterproof/windproof top dependent on weather, space blanket and ICE (In Case of Emergency) tag or card 

 

Important: Our runs are pack runs and we may split into 2 or 3 pace groups on the day. 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.  Please keep together and ensure that no-one is left on their own.  Routes are subject to deviation on the day.  

Unfortunately no dogs are allowed on TotalSports VOB runs.

 

 

Have a great week!

 

Regards,

Lorraine Nevin

RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2024 Muizenberg Striped Horse to Silvermine Peaks

Morning trailers!

 

Our run tomorrow is ON!

 

The weather is predicted to be warm with a gentle breeze but as always come prepared for anything.

 

There will be more security on the mountain due to the race, but we will need to stay together as a group

 

See you there

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2024 Muizenberg Striped Horse to Silvermine Peaks

 

Hi Trailers

 

Next weekend the mountain will be crawling with UTCT runners on all sides, so I've tried to find a spot where we won't be in the way but might catch a glimpse as they fly past.

We will park at the Striped Horse in York Road Muizenberg, go up the stairs to Pecks Valley and explore Silvermine from there. As we're close to the beach, we can swim and enjoy coffee after the run

Route

From the Striped Horse parking, we go up Camp Road and climb the stairs to Boyes Drive and go through the Hole in the Wall. After going up Peck's Valley, we turn right at the junction to go up to Muizenberg Peak and enjoy the view. We turn left at the Peak and descend down to the jeep track. After running along the fence of the installation we turn right up the single track to go up Higher Steenberg Peak and descend to meet the jeep track near Entrance Gate 2. We turn left and jog along the jeep track crossing above the waterfall and turn left up the Fisherman's Path. At the jeep track we turn left and do some more jeep track jogging to the jeep track junction where we carry on straight on the single track that goes down Mimetes Valley. We go down towards Baley's Kloof but take the left turn that will bring us back to the start of Peck's Valley and trot home.

Rendezvous and start time

Meet at the Striped Horse parking at 6h20 ready to start at 6h30

Terrain & Distance

Single track and jeep track with a bit of road at the start/finish

The route is around 13km (estimated)

There are many shortcuts but need a group of more than 2 for safety

What to bring 

Appropriate clothes for possible cool, overcast weather, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate gear, water and food.

Please note that TMT unfortunately does not allow dogs on its runs.

• Please carry emergency contact numbers on your wrist/shoe
• If you are not well, please stay at home
