Geoff's choice of route saw us meeting at Newlands parking area (where the fire fighting helicopters park) and heading up and to the right towards the turnstile and the King's Blockhouse.
The Fast and Medium Groups headed up over the Saddle to Breakfast Rock and whizzed down Newlands Ravine, popping out at the wooden circular picnic table on the contour, then straight down through the tranquil forest, keeping the river to their right.
The Slow group went a little too far towards Town and did a few hilly kilometres on the slopes of the mountain above the quagga-field, but discovered a new short cut to the turnstile with views over the harbour and Table Bay before heading back on track to the boardwalks and the picnic table, and heading down in the welcome shade of the trees.
This is why we organised a scardey-cat route as an alternative! |
The Slow group had plenty of time to play around and have a photo shoot at the picnic table. |
