TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: 18 August 2018 - Cape Point - Buffelsbaai to Platboom (My Green Card/WildCard or R147 entry)

Hi Trailers

On Saturday we will be running in Cape Point from Buffelsbaai, but this time we will be running south towards Cape Point. A new route for us with beautiful views of False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Lots of route options!
 
 Route details

From Buffelsbaai parking (NOT the Buffelsfontein Visitor's centre!) we run up the tarred road till we come to the single track crossing.

This time we turn left and follow this path south towards Cape Point overlooking False bay all the way. We can deviate to the Whale watch viewpoint to check if the whales have woken up, then back track on to the path and continue south crossing the jeep track and then bear right at the junction to the Erica Hut (part of hoerikwagga trail). 

We will now have almost done a U-turn and will be running north crossing 2 roads before heading down the Atlantic Ocean at Platboom. This will be around 7km. From here we head up the road and run back to Buffelsbaai giving us around 11km.

Another route option is to continue south and not turn to Erica Hut. This will take us to the Two Oceans Restaurant, then there is a sandy, boulder hopping route along the coast meeting up at Platboom - this adds about 6km to the route.

For those that want a longer distance on trail, from Platboom they can continue along the track to GifKommetjie - but they need to organise to be picked up at Gifkommetjie .
