Hi All
Saturday 24th January – Red Disa Run – Constantia Neck, Reservoirs, Aqueducts – a few optional routes
This Saturday we will go on our annual hunt for the Red Disas. Our route takes us from Constantia neck to the Aqueducts, where the Red Disas are in full bloom.
Brief Description of Route
From the Constantia Neck parking, up the single track past the 'Bailiff cottage'. From here there will be a few options to get to the Aqueducts. Your leader of the day will choose the route. We hope to all meet at the ponds near the aqueducts to see and photograph the red disas.
Rendezvous and Start Time
RV in the Constantia Neck parking opposite the Constantia Neck restaurant, (I'm making the start nice and early because the parking gets full and we have a longer run) - in time to start running at 06h00 (please come at least 10 mins earlier to allow time for the pre-run brief)
Terrain and Distance
The usual uphill start up the single track up to the 'Bailiff cottage' . Thereafter, good and easy single and Jeep tracks . More or less 15 km taking in the region of about 3.0 hours. Please note this is a pack run, and we will divide into a few pace groups on the day with a leader and a sweep chosen per group, I have plotted out a potential route for the longer version, as well as one for the relaxed group – see attached GPX files.
There will be a relaxed group. Walking group to be confirmed.
Please take note of the longer time for this route as well as the earlier start time
How to get there?
From the Constantia side head up towards Hout Bay. At the circle, go three-quarters round and park at the Constantia Neck parking opposite the Constantia Neck restaurant.
IMPORTANT:
Please make sure to bring enough water ie. minimum 1.5L for the duration of the run. Also ensure you carry a warm/windproof top and a whistle. Also please carry some form of ICE details
Totalsports VOB does not allow dogs on our runs
Have a great week

To this end neither the Club nor the organisers personally can be held liable for any claims relating to inter alia, injuries, disabilities and death. Further any minor child participating in any trail running activity will be deemed to be doing so with the consent of his or her guardian.
