TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 25th April - TRAPPIESKOP and SLIVERMINE EAST

Hi Trailers

 

This coming Saturday we are going to explore Silvermine East starting from Kalk Bay going up via Trappieskop and Cave Peak.

Route

We meet at the parking at Kalk Bay station and go up the stairs to Boyes Drive. We turn left on Boyes Drive and run to the Trappieskop trail. Just after the saddle at the top there is a single-track path to the right which takes us through to the Cave Peak trail. We turn left along here and go right up a small easy scrambly bit to get to the top. We turn left at the top. At the 3 way junction we turn left and run along Dead Man’s path and then the jeep track through to the waterfall.

From the jeep track there are various options and distances:

1. Turn right up the Crassula path to the Amphitheatre, through the amphitheatre and down Echo Valley to Weary Willy’s and home – 11km
2. Run along the jeep track for 0.6km and turn right up Speciosa Valley, past Kalk Bay Peak and down Spes Bona Valley to Weary Willy’s and home – 13km
3. A shorter option is to skip Dead Man’s path, run towards the amphitheatre and turn right down Echo Valley to Weary Willy’s – 7km

Rendezvous and start time

Park at Kalk Bay Station ready to start running at 7h15 am.

Terrain & Distance

The route is a combination of stairs, jeep track,  and single track.

There is a good choice of distances varying from 7km to 13km, To be decided at the junction of Dead Man’s Path

What to bring 

Water, appropriate clothes for cold, windy, or wet weather, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information

Fw: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 28 March 2026 - Tygerberg Nature Reserve

Happy Friday Trailers!

Our run is ON for the morning and looks to be a cool start.

Rendezvous and Start Time

The main entrance parking lot is at the end of Totius Street, Welgemoed. 

The park opens at 07h30 but please come earlier as parking can fill quickly, we will meet just inside the gate past the ticket office to avoid a queue. We'll start as close to 07h30 as we can.

Please note there is a R40 entrance fee and the reserve gate is cashless. This reserve is not part of SANParks or Cape Nature, so My Green Card will not work here.

See you there!

Happy Monday Trailers!

This week we're in The North with a later start at Tygerberg Nature Reserve. 

Route details

The park is not big but there are good single tracks and a bit of elevation for us to zig and zag around with amazing panoramic views. 

We will start with the Duiker loop and then join up with Tortoise up to the transmitter, along Watsonia and down right onto Grey Rhebok.  Following the border to Honey Badger and then joining up with Ukhetshe we will follow the path back round until we get to the Golden Mole intersection where we'll go right and wiggle waggle back to the visitors center.  

 All in all, around 12km and about 2.5 hours for the relaxed group as we stop to admire the view.

RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Table Mountain Trailers - Saturday 21st March 2026 - Silvermine 3 Lookouts and a Peak

Hi Trailers,

 

Confirming that we'll be meeting at the Silvermine dam tomorrow morning as soon as possible after 7am.

Please note that there's no signal up there so no way to let us know if you're running late. We'll wait until 7.20 am in case there's a queue at the gate, then we'll be running.

Also please bring your R44 in  CASH as the lack of signal means no credit card transactions. Alternatively the Wild Card or My Green Card*

 

The weather looks dry but cool so dress accordingly. Maybe too cool for a swim?

 

*To buy a My Green Card: the Tokai Office is open today until 3:45 (closed 12:30 – 13.00).

There's also an office at Kloofnek. Monday–Friday 7:30 AM–12:30 PM, 1:00 PM–4:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–1:00 PM

Price R212.  If you haven't got one of these cards, get one! The best value ever! 😉

 

See you there.

From Noordhoek Lookout back to the start there are several single track options for the group leaders to choose from on the morning, including an extension down the River Walk to the main gate and back up.

The route consists of jeep track and single track.

Pack a cozzie for a dip afterwards!

Gate opens at 7.00 am, subject to confirmation in Friday's email.  RV in the car park at the dam ready to start running at 7:15 am

Walking Group:  To be confirmed on Friday.

What to bring

R44 CASH (no credit cards because there's no signal) or MyGreen Card or Wild Card. 

Water, whistle, warm, wind or waterproof top depending on weather and your ICE information.

Important: Please 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.
