Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 29th June -Noordhoek beach to Slangkop Lighthouse
Reply-To: loribuddle@gmail.com
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!
