Despite the unanimous forecast of no rain by Cape Town’s leading weather gurus, it rained! Not to be put off by this 18 pitched up at the RV as scheduled despite a slight problem of finding a safe and legal parking spot along Tafelberg Rd.

| Silver trees Anyway we were soon off running, and downhill for a change, in the cool damp but clear morning air with the whole of the city bowl below us and a view out of the bay towards Blaauwberg and a glimpse of a rising sun appearing over the distant mountains creating a rainbow against the mountain behind us. One or two minor navigation errors, but nothing of concern. After a couple of kays, mainly descending towards the old quarry above De Waal drive we altered tack to starboard and started a long climb uphill towards King’s Blockhouse. From the Blockhouse we followed the lower traverse around Devil’s Peak and dropped down to the end of Tafelberg Rd and an easy jog back to the start. 11.6 Kms in 1hour 50 odd minutes. |
