FW: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - Tokai Forest - 30th May 2026

Hi Trailers

 

This Saturday we will run in Tokai forest below Elephant’s eye cave

 

Rendezvous and start time

We will meet at 7.20 am, ready to start running at 7.30 am

Meeting point will be on the corner of Orpen Road and Dennendal Avenue, Tokai – it’s on the corner with the ribbons.  You can park in Dennedal Road next to the forest, but please be mindful where you park and not to block driveways etc  

 

Route

We will start by crossing Orpen Road and running up the bridal path (Forest Glade Estate will be on our left)

Once we get onto Tokai Rd, we will turn right and head up past the braai area towards the Manor house, but we will turn left at the bridge before the Manor House.

We will follow this jeep track until we get to level 2, and then proceed to level 3 and maybe even to further levels.   We will then may our way back down past the Arboretum and Manor house and back down to our cars.  See map of suggested route as well as a GPX file.  We need to be aware that it is an area also enjoyed by mountain bikers, so we will try and avoid their routes, and please don’t run on any cycle single tracks.  

 

Terrain and Distance

Mostly gravel tracks and some good climbing sections.  Distance in the region of 10 km, with the option of extending in the forest or to do a loop of the lower Tokai plantation which will add another 4 km (and maybe a stop at the secret café for a coffee!!)

 

 What to bring  

Water, whistle, warm/windproof top, rain jacket - weather dependent, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water.

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.  Please keep together and ensure that no-one is left on their own. 

PS  Sorry no dogs allowed on VOB runs

See you there

Good day Trailers

This weekend the plan is to meet at Theresa Avenue Camps Bay at 7:30am and do 11.6km with 1km ascent.

Expect the usual good company and lots of laughs, I am guessing 3.5 hours

Weather is supposed to be beyond perfect.  15 degrees, light South-East to keep us cool.

Route:

Important Notes: 

Dress in weather appropriate and proper trail running gear. Must include a proper windproof (waterproof if raining) jacket.

Carry plenty of water and energy snacks.
You are running voluntarily and entirely at your own risk.

See you there

We have done this a couple of times and it seemed to be enjoyed by everyone who joined.

As usual, speed groups will form and we will make sure nobody gets lost.

Something cold to refresh afterwards is recommended..

Subject: 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

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate waterproof/warm gear.

Please note that TMT unfortunately does not allow dogs on its runs.

• Please carry emergency contact numbers in your bag or on your wrist/shoe.

See you all on Saturday.  Any questions – please reach out!
