Feedback Saturday 26th March: Two Oceans 10k Route

Feed-Back Saturday 26^th March: Two Oceans 10 Route

For this week we were joined by a few members of the short distance trail running group so we had 26 who started out. From the parking area we ran back through UCT to the actual start line in front of the “Jammie Steps”. Thereafter thanks to the acquired map of the revised route we were able to run the route with only minor errors of navigation. No incidents were noted and by all accounts those who have entered the race now have a very good idea of what lies ahead. For the rest of us it was a good run in an attractive area.

Feedback Saturday 19th March: Kloof Nek

Sixteen mustered at the Kloof Nek parking area for the run/walk group in a warm muggy morning. The run along the pipe track to Corridor Ravine was relatively easy and uneventful and we were thankful that we were in the shade of the mountain as the morning was already warm and promising a very hot day ahead.

We turned back on reaching the steps down into Corridor ravine and retraced our steps to give us a run of 10.0 kms.

Congratulations to Felicity and Pat who achieved their tenth run with our group.

Feedback Saturday 5th March Silvermine NW

Despite the prospect of hot day ahead we had a good turnout of18 for our group walk/run which consisted of a good scramble up and along Steenberg Ridge to Elephant’s Eye lookout.  From there it was a long hot slog up the track to the Noordhoek lookout and its wonderful vista overlooking the Atlantic coastline.  Then a run down to the dam and without second thoughts a cooling and refreshing swim or dip depending on choice.  On the way back down the board walk some of us missed the turn off and only realised it after about a kay so amidst much grumbling turned back.

Good luck and a Safe Ride to those of our group who are riding in the Argus on Sunday
