FEEDBACK: Saturday 27 June 2015, Buffels Bay-Kanonkop-Paulsberg Circuit

Many runners turned out for Saturday's run despite the long drive to Cape Point.  The weather started off chilly with a slight breeze and cloud cover.  But once the sun broke through the clouds, it warmed up a little.

Beautiful colours at sunrise.












All three groups started at the Buffels Bay parking, with the route going past the visitors centre before  crossing the Bortjiesrif road.  From here, it was a climb to up Kanonkop to the old canon.  Here, the Main group carried on up and around Paulsberg.  The Recovery group also carried on and up around Paulsberg to a turn-around point at about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  The Main and Recovery groups returned to the old canon to meet up with the Walk/Run group.  From here, all three groups made their way off the mountain to "Booi se skerm" before they returned to Buffels Bay along the coast with a short beach section.  

Recovery Group at the 'old canon'.
The Main group completed 12km in just under 2hrs, the Recovery group 10km in 2hrs and the Walk/Run group completed 8km in just over 2hrs.
