FEEDBACK: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 14th November 2015 - Tranquillity Cracks


Hello Trailers,


Route:
It is has been some months since we last did the Tranquillity Cracks route. We start along the Pipe Track with magnificent views over the Atlantic seaboard all the way to Corridor Ravine. Up Corridor, then two left turns to explore Tranquility Cracks. Continue along the Twelve Apostles route to check out the top of the old cableway used to build the dams, there's a great view from there. We then head down Kasteelspoort and back along the Pipetrack to the carpark.

Rendevouz and start time:
We will meet at Kloof Nek in the 2nd car park where the SanParks hut it at 06.15 to sign in and for briefing, ready to start running at 06:30.

Terrain and Distance:
The Pipetrack is fairly flat, but rocky in areas. There is a steep ascent up to the top and some single track along the Twelve Apostles route to Kasteelspoort. The route will take approximately 2.30 - 3hours. See attachments for the main route and elevations.

Recovery Group:
The recovery group will turn up Woody Ravine for a shorter route.


Walk/Run Group:
The walk/run group will turn up Kasteelspoort from the Pipetrack before turning back.


What to bring:
Water, whistle and a light snack. Bring along a waterproof top as there is a possibility of light rain in the morning. At the moment it is expected to be cloudy with a maximum temperature of 20 degrees.

See you there

FEEDBACK: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - Sat 07th November 2015 - Silvermine North-West

FEEDBACK: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS -  Sat 07th November 2015 - Silvermine North-West

Feedback from Richard:

A medium-sized group turned up for the first run from the Kalk Bay station parking for many months, - a legacy of the fire in January.

The start was slightly delayed because of the late arrival of the run leader, Richard, who had to run to the start from Fish Hoek, because of an accident on Main road – forcing the road to be closed. All 3 groups started up a much changed Echo valley and Spes Bona valley and thereafter, through the Spes Bona forest (which was mercifully preserved from the fire. The route was tough to start with, then becoming undulating, and finally ending with a very fast downhill run back to the parking.

All-in-all a good outing, - and a welcome return to a very pleasant area of the Table Mountain national park.
