TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 24th August TMT Run

Morning all,

Run details for this coming Saturday 24th August

Route
Meet at Constantia Nek car park, along the jeep track to the contour path and along to bottom of Skeleton Gorge, up Skellies.

At the top of Skellies we can split and those wanting a longer run can turn right and continue to Echo Valley where they would turn left, carry on running and then left again back to the dams.

The rest of us can take a little jaunt to the dams and back to the top of Nursary Ravine via Ash Valley, from there past the Overseer's Huts at the top of the concrete road and down Ceclia Ridge (if I can find it!), or down via the concrete road.

The longer group can then follow the same route home, when they arrive at the dams.

Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 6:50am at C Nek car park, ready to run at 7am. It's getting lighter!!

Terrain and distance
Short amount of jeep track to warm up, then mainly single track. Skellies may be a bit wet due to the rain we've had so you will get wet feet and it may be a bit of a scramble in places (no exposure though as we're in a gorge)! Techincal single track on the top of the mountain, technical downhill at Celcilia Ravine.

Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups with leaders and sweeps for each paced group. As there are a number of people away, there will be no relaxed group. I would not recommend this route if you are joining us for the first time and have not trail run before.

Dogs
Please note that  K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.

What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top depending on weather, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, and don't forget food.

ImportantPlease remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to make sure the people behind you see which way you are going.   
Leaders of each group will ensure that no-one is left behind. Please keep the groups together and ensure that no-one is left on their own. Trail running in inherently dangerous so this group can not accept any liability for anything that happens on the mountain - you are here of your own free will so be sensible!!

Any questions, let me know.


Regards
