Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 5th December 2020 : Tokai Forest

Happy Friday Trailers!

Tomorrow's run is so very definitely ON! 

I'm pleased to say that there will be a WALKING group as well as the usual Faster and Mediumer groups. We need to ensure that we remain tight, given the recent criminal activity in the Lower Park area. Please do not run off ahead of the pack even if you can. :)

Mr President would like us all to please wear our masks when gathering at the beginning and end of the run, and keeping our distance from each other, but we are allowed out on the mountain so out we will go!
Please stay home if you are feeling at all unwell.

The weather is looking positively summery.



Gaeleen has generously offered her garden to anyone that would like to have a long, cool glass of something to celebrate the end of the year afterwards, so please bring a drink and some snacks if you're keen. Again: masks, distance, washed hands, etc.

That's all folks!
See you at 6.25ish.

Route

We'll start by crossing the road and running up the bridal path behind Forest Glade Estate and past the braai area to the entrance to the Arboretum. From here we'll follow the jeep track up, breaking into the various speed groups and the group leaders will decide on their routes.

 

Terrain and Distance

Gravel tracks and trails with some good climbing sections.  Distance will be 10-12 km, with the option to do a loop of the Lower Park at the end to add another fast and flat 4km to the distance.

RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 28 November 2020 - Kalk Bay into Silvermine East

Hi Trailers!

 

Our run tomorrow is ON. The temperature looks great but it will be windy. It may be cold on top so please come prepared.

 

As we pass the entrance to Boomslang Cave on the way up, we may be able to persuade Geoff to take us through it… Not guaranteed, but we can try – only for those who want to

 

For those that are keen, please bring a light.

 

See you tomorrow

Liz

RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 21 November 2020 - Corridor Ravine and Grootkop

Hi Trailers!

 

Our run tomorrow is ON. Weather looks good – not too hot and a gentle wind but please always come prepared for all weather.

 

There will be NO relaxed or walking group.

 

But the medium group may well split into 2 and do both routes.

 

See you there

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 21 November 2020 - Corridor Ravine and Grootkop

 

Hi Trailers!

 

This Saturday we go up Table Mountain via Corridor Ravine to get to the 360 degree view from Grootkop. Back down Kasteelspoort.

.

 

Route

 

We park on Theresa Ave in Camps Bay – See directions below – and go up the jeep track keeping right until we reach the Pipe Track

We turn right and run along the Pipe Track, passing Woody Ravine until we take a left turn up Corridor. Once at the top we turn right and follow the track to Grootkop, turning right off the track to get to the top

After admiring the view, we re-trace our steps passing Corridor – possibly deviating to Tranquillity Cracks (time dependent) – till we get to Kasteelspoort where we descend to the Pipe Track and back down the jeep Track to the cars

 

For those that don't want to do Corridor and Grootkop, a shorter option is to go up Woody, turn left and go down Kasteelspoort. Also a good route.


Rendezvous and start time
Meet at
6:25am at Theresa Ave. We start running at 6h30am

 

Terrain and distance
Mostly single track except for the trek up to the pipe track. A climb to the top, flowing single track with a short climb to the top of Grootkop

The route is around 11km with the Woody Ravine option around 7km. The climbs take time so be sure to factor this in.

Groups
We will split into speed groups and possibly smaller groups as per regulations (keeping each other in sight) - with leaders and sweeps on the morning. 

The relaxed group will be confirmed on Friday

Dogs
Please note that  K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.

 

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

The weather can change fast on the top of the mountain. Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water


ImportantPlease remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to make sure the people behind you see which way you are going.   
Leaders of each group will ensure that no-one is left behind. Please keep the groups together and ensure that no-one is left on their own. 

 

Directions to Theresa Ave:

 

From Cape Town, drive past the entrance to the Cable Car and continue down Camps Bay Drive. Turn left at the third road – Fiskaal – and zig zag up the mountain. The road becomes Francolin and eventually Theresa.

Park on the Sea side of the road facing the correct direction. Don't block any residents driveways.

 

Please remember to adhere to the COVID principles below:

 

  • No gathering in a big group at start or end of the run
  • All runners to carry a mask or buff
  • Practice social distancing
  • We will break into small groups as per regulations while we run

Route details

Meet at the Newlands Fire Base parking (not Forries).

We warm up by heading in the direction of Kirstenbosch Gardens and turn up near the boundary.  We won't head all the way up to the contour but stick to the lower trails as we head in the direction of the blockhouse. We turn back above hospital bend, taking the lower road above Rhodes Memorial and head back to our cars. 

Route may vary to the actual Beast route as the paths in Newlands Forest move often.

Please remember this a pack run, and its important that we look out for each other.  

Terrain and Distance

Mostly forest paths and some jeep track.  Previous map, profile & GPX of the race attached for reference.

Distance: +- 12 kms taking about 2 - 2.5hrs for Medium Group 


Relaxed Group to be confirmed on Friday.

*Please note adjustments to the route may be made whilst running depending on the group and weather conditions.


Please bring:

A whistle, WATER (remember a trail 10km can take longer than a road 10km), a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE (In case of Emergency) tag or card.

Unfortunately no dogs are allowed on our runs.

Please remember to adhere to the COVID rules below:
  • No gathering in a big group at start or end of the run.
  • All runners to carry a mask or buff.
  • Practice social/physical distancing.
  • We will break into small groups as per regulations while we run.
  • No personal sign in – ensure the leader ticks you in/out. Please carry emergency contact numbers in your bag or on your wrist/shoe.
  • We will monitor the groups on a weekly basis for size.
  • VOB reserves the right to stop TMT if the COVID infections increase again in the Western Cape.

Have a great week!

This Saturday we head to the forest to run a TMT version of the Baby Beast.

Rendezvous and Start Time

RV in the parking area Newlands Fire Base 06:25 ready to start at 06:30.

Route details

Meet at the Newlands Fire Base parking (not Forries).

We warm up by heading in the direction of Kirstenbosch Gardens and turn up near the boundary.  We won't head all the way up to the contour but stick to the lower trails as we head in the direction of the blockhouse. We turn back above hospital bend, taking the lower road above Rhodes Memorial and head back to our cars. 

Route may vary to the actual Beast route as the paths in Newlands Forest move often.

Please remember this a pack run, and its important that we look out for each other.  

Terrain and Distance

Mostly forest paths and some jeep track.  Previous map, profile & GPX of the race attached for reference.

Distance: +- 12 kms taking about 2 - 2.5hrs for Medium Group 


Relaxed Group to be confirmed on Friday.

*Please note adjustments to the route may be made whilst running depending on the group and weather conditions.


Please bring:

A whistle, WATER (remember a trail 10km can take longer than a road 10km), a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE (In case of Emergency) tag or card.
