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

Hi Trailers

This Saturday 21st March we'll return to our favourite ol' Silvermine circuit: "Three Lookouts and a Peak". 

Starting from the dam car park, we head up to the Tokai fire lookout, then along the single track to the Blackburn Lookout, and finally along either the Panorama path or the Jeep Track but either way vía Noordhoek Peak to the Noordhoek Lookout. 

The Crassula Path,  an alternative to the Panorama trail,  will be taken by the relaxed group (and those who don't like exposure).   

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! 

Rendezvous and Start Time

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  

Time & Distance

We will aim to do 10 -12 km – taking in the region of 2-2.5 hours.  Our runs are pack runs and we will split into a few pace groups on the day.

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. 

No Dogs allowed on our runs.

Hi Trailers

Tomorrow's run is ON – expect a gentle breeze and maybe a sprinkling of rain

No official walking group

We'll meet at the Maiden's Cove Tidal Pool Braai Area in Clifton. From there, we'll climb up to Lion's Head via the Glen trail, sweep along to the far end of Signal Hill to tag the beacon, and then enjoy a gentle meander back down through the Glen. The route is around 11.5 km, (taking just over 2 hours)  with the option to push a little further up the Lion's Neck if you're craving extra distance and elevation. Expect sparkling Atlantic views, fynbos scents in the air, and that unbeatable Mother City backdrop. Depending on numbers, we will split into two pace groups or stay in one group for safety.

Here's the Strava link from the last time we tackled this route: 👉 https://strava.app.link/DgUw4MVdiQb

📍 Meeting point: Maiden's Cove Tidal Pool Car Park (coordinates: -33.9445348, 18.3757808)

⏰ Start time: 6:15am sharp – please arrive and sign in by 6:00am

🚫 Please remember: no dogs on our runs.

📖 All the usual T&Cs apply – see the blog for details: www.tablemountaintrailers.org.za

See you in the morning
