TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: 6 July 2019 - Maclear's Beacon via Platteklip Gorge

Hi Trailers

 

This week we will be climbing to the highest point on the Cape Peninsular and bagging another of Ryan's 13 peaks!

 

Please ensure that you have read all the details in the email…

 

 Route details

We park at the Platteklip parking and wind our way up Platteklip Gorge taking in the spectacular views of Cape Town as the sun rises. Once we reach the top and catch our breath, we turn left and make our way to Maclear's Beacon. There are two options here: the left hand path is fairly exposed but beautiful and the right hand path is the normal tourist path that follows the yellow footprints to Maclear's. We celebrate reaching the highest point, take in the views and choose from a variety of paths for the way back.

1. Return the same way and descend Platteklip  (10kms total)
2. For those who don't like descents, return the same way and catch the cable car down and run back along the tar road to the cars (9km total)
3. Take Smuts track south from Maclears and return to Platteklip via the Echo Valley path (12km)

Rendezvous and Start Time  

RV at  the  parking at the bottom of Platteklip Gorge along Tafelberg Road at 7:25am ready to start at 7:30am.

Terrain and Distance 

 

Single track and boardwalks with a steep, winding climb and descent. Flowing running at the top.  

 

For those who don't like descents, the cable car is an option. The rate is R190 one way with a 20% discount for MyGreenCard. Tickets must be purchased from webtickets beforehand

 

The distance will be between 10 and 12kms, depending on route chosen. If you skip Maclear's and turn back at the top of Platteklip, it will be 6kms.

 

The climb up Platteklip can take a while so this is not a route to do if you have time constraints.

 

Relaxed Group

 

There will be a relaxed group.

 

Please Bring:  

 

A whistle, water, a warm /waterproof/windproof top  dependent on weather, space blanket and ICE tag or card. It is often misty, cold and windy at the top of the mountain so it's recommended that you are prepared for anything.  Snacks are a good idea.

 

 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 to Platteklip Parking:

 

Go up Tafelberg Road, pass the lower Cable Station and drive for about 1.5kms. You will see parking on your left just before the reservoir on the bend at the start of the trail. Cars can also be parked along the right hand side of the road taking care not to block traffic. Leave nothing of value in the cars.

   

See you there

Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 29th June -Noordhoek beach to Slangkop Lighthouse

Hi Trailers,

See you all at the Noordhoek beach parking lot at 7:15 for 7:30am.

Hi Trailers,

This week's run is a favourite of mine for its runability and beautiful muted landscape colours: a flat out and back from Noordhoek Beach to Slangkop Lighthouse, or wherever you decide to turn around. It looks as if we have another freaky Friday storm ahead but a calm Saturday morning, if windguru is to be believed. 

Rendezvous and start time
RV in the main Noordhoek Beach parking lot at the end of Beach Road. Ready to start at 07:30. Full sunrise will be at 7:52am but civil dawn is at 7:24 so it will be light and we'll watch the sun rise as we run along the hard sand at low tide.

(Fun fact: Civil twilight occurs when the Sun is less than 6 degrees below the horizon. In the morning, civil twilight begins when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and ends at sunrise. In the evening, it begins at sunset and ends when the Sun reaches 6 degrees below the horizon. Civil dawn is the moment when the geometric center of the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the morning.)

Terrain and distance: Hard sand. Distance up to 14 kms depending on the distance before turning around, taking more or less 1 and a half to 2 hours.

Groups: This is a pack run with regular regroups. We will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning. 

What to bring: Water, whistle, warm/windproof top depending on weather, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

Important: Please remember to make sure the people ahead of and behind you are not too far away. There have been reports of incidences on the beach that we wish to avoid but following the 'safety in numbers' theory. Leaders of each group will ensure that no-one is left too far behind. Please keep the groups together and ensure that no-one is left on their own. 

Relaxed group to be confirmed.

Walking group

We have had suggestions to start a walking group -dogs welcome- and it may be that we have sufficient numbers to make this viable now. If you are interested in joining a group of walkers, please send me your name and phone number. We will manage this subgroup via a dedicated WhatsApp group. 

See you all there!

Hi Trailers

Our run tomorrow is ON 

Route

The start is a good warm up on the single track shortcut across to the road to Rhodes memorial, then onto the jeep track that runs above the memorial. Continue around the side of Plumpudding hill and keep right where the jeep track splits (do not turn up to the top of Plumpudding hill)  Just after this there is an out and back to the right for those who want to see the Prince of Wales blockhouse. Returning to the jeep track, climb the zig zag road, but continue straight at the end of the second zig where you will find a single track on the left leading up to the Queens blockhouse which you should be able to see above. After visiting the Queens blockhouse, the single track continues climbing up and along towards the Kings blockhouse and joins the contour path below the Kings Blockhouse. There is a steep climb up to the Kings blockhouse and then back to the turnstile and along the contour path towards Newlands ravine. Depending on the distance you want to cover – continue along the contour path and choose one of the many routes back down to the start.

Meet at the lower Silvermine car park (first on the left after passing through the gate) at 08h00 in time to start running at  08h15. Please remember there is little or no signal there so we won't get any 'I'm on my way' type messages.

Gentle uphill warm-up along the Riverwalk. The faster group will head right at the MTB car park to head up the ridge towards Elephants Eye.

After Noordhoek Peak we connect back with the jeep track for a short distance and then follow the single track down to the dam and back down the Riverwalk or road to the car park.

Terrain and Distance

Mostly single track with a few short sections of jeep track in between.

Distance about 10-13kms, taking about 2h30, depending on short cuts.

Warning: Trail running is inherently more dangerous than road running.  It takes place over uneven hazard strewn trails in exposed and often remote terrain where help is not always readily available.  
Participation is voluntary and entirely at your own risk as although the organizers take reasonable precautions to ensure runner safety, it cannot be guaranteed.  To this end neither the Club nor the organisers personally can be held liable for any claims relating to inter alia, injuries, disabilities and death. Further any minor child participating in any trail running activity will be deemed to be doing so with the consent of his or her guardian.
By starting out on a trail run you explicitly acknowledge that: 1] you understand the associated risks involved and accept full responsibility for your own safety. 2] you are medically and physically fit to participate and 3] are carrying the necessary water, clothing and safety equipment required for the particular run.
