Hi Trailers
I know that the blog says Platteklip but I forgot about the Platteklip Charity Challenge! So we will be running in Silvermine East starting from Boyes Drive at Pecks Valley (Hole in the Wall)
Route details
We park on the sea side of Boyes Drive as far off the road as possible and run through the Hole in the Wall up Pecks Valley. When we reach the jeep track we turn left and then right at the first track. We follow this track up to the Fat Lady shelter and down to the jeep track near Gate 2. We turn left on the jeep track and run up to the top of the waterfall. We cross the concrete bridge and then there are two options:
The faster group continue along the jeep track and on to Dead Man's path and around Klein Tuinkop turning left to the amphitheatre when they reach the top. From the amphitheatre, they pass Tartarus cave and run down Speciosa Valley to the jeep track. Turn right on to the jeep track and continue on to the single track through Mimetes Valley, turning left at the bottom to head back to Hole in the Wall - about 14kms (outer loop on map)
The medium group turn left on to the Fisherman's path and run to the jeep track. Here there are 2 options:
1) turn left on to the jeep track and continue on to the single track through Mimetes Valley, turning left at the bottom to head back to Hole in the Wall - about 10kms (inner loop on map)2) turn left on to the jeep track, then right up the Crassula path, left just before the amphitheatre to pass Tartarus cave and run down Speciosa Valley to the jeep track. Turn right on to the jeep track and continue on to the single track through Mimetes Valley, turning left at the bottom to head back to Hole in the Wall - about 12kms
Rendezvous and Start Time
RV at the start of Peck's Valley on Boyes Drive (signposted) at 6:55am ready to start running at 7am sharp
Terrain and Distance
A mixture of jeep track and single track with a solid climb at the beginning. Flowing running. Distances of 10, 12 and 14km depending on route chosen
Relaxed Group
There will be a relaxed Group - route and distance to be decided on the day
A Whistle, water, a warm /waterproof/windproof top dependent on weather, space blanket and ICE tag or card
For safety, it is the responsibility of everyone to check behind you to ensure that the person behind is still there and that they see where you turn off
Unfortunately no dogs allowed on our runs
Directions:
From Lakeside, turn on to Boyes Drive. Travel past the Old Boyes Drive turn off, down the hill (beware traffic cameras) and as you come up the hill there are trees on your left and a stone wall and sign for Peck's Valley on your right. Park on left hand side as far off the road as possible . If you reach Bailey's Kloof you have gone too far
From Kalk Bay, turn on to Boyes Drive, drive past Bailey's Kloof and Peck's Valley is a little further on your left, opposite trees on your right. You can park on the right or continue further down the hill to park on the left off the road.
See you there
