Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 11th December LAST RUN OF THE YEAR

Hi Trailers,

Saturday 11th December sees us meet for our last official sortie of 2021. We'll run one of our old familiar favourites, 3 Lookouts and a Peak, and celebrate the year's finale with a picnic brunch and a swim in the dam.

Route details

Starting at the car park nearest to the dam, we'll head towards the fire lookout over Tokai, meander towards Blackburn lookout and complete the circular route via Noordhoek Peak to the Noordhoek lookout. There are options to include the Panorama path, the Crassula Path, divert to Elephant's Eye Cave and/or extend the distance with a jog down the River Walk. We'll organize group leaders and sweeps on the day. 

Rendezvous and Start Time

Gate 1 opens at 8am so please make your way to the car park at the dam as quickly as possible. We'll start running as soon as possible - latest 8:15am.

NB: There is no cellphone signal in Silvermine so if you are running late, there is no way to let us know. Don't be late!  

Entry fee to Silvermine is still amazing value but note that it increased last month:

R36 per adult  Additionally: R25 per vehicle (I'll confirm this in Friday's email but start planning your lift club!)

Please bring your ID book to prove you are a SA national.
Alternatively, buy a MyGreen card at the Tokai SANParks office this week, or carry your Wild card.

Terrain and Distance

Single track, jeep track, and a little bit of rock hopping. Depending on the group you join and the whim of the day, you'll run somewhere between 8 and 12km. This is a fairly flat route and very good for beginners. 

Relaxed Group

There will be a Relaxed Group. 

***Please let me know if you're keen to lead or join a brisk walk/hike. ***

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.

If you're staying for a Christmas picnic, please bring a cooler box with your favourite snacks and cool drinks. Invite your home family to join you and meet your trail family! 

Unfortunately we do not welcome dogs on our runs.

And here's the Covid bit:

Please be aware that our runs operate under strict COVID protocols even though now on level 1. 

• All runners to carry a mask or buff
• Practice social distancing
• We will break into small groups as per regulations while we run
• 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
• If you have any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms, please stay at home

 

Have a great week!

Regards

Lorraine

Hi Trailers

However this may change…

 

See you there!

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2021: BUFFELSBAAI to PLATBOOM CAPE POINT (entrance fee R90 with ID/ MyGreenCard/WildCard with letter) NO CASH ACCEPTED

 

Hi Trailers

As the Ultra trail Cape Town will be taking over the mountain and greenbelts on Saturday, we head down south to Cape Point again for one of our last official runs for 2021.

Note increase in park fees for those without Wild or Green cards. Cape Point is Cash-Free – NO cash accepted. Credit or Debit cards only

Sadly Sanparks free entrance week lasts until Friday 26 November…

Route

We park at the lower parking at Buffelsbaai and run back up the tar road until the trail crossing. We turn left on to the single track and follow this all the way to the Whale watching point on the East side of the park. After checking for whales, we cross the road and continue south crossing the jeep track looking out for the left fork which will take us to the Erica hut. We admire the view and then take the single track down the hill, turn left at the jeep track, cross the road and run on the single track along the west side of the park following the coast until we get to Platboom. Here we turn up the road and run up the hill passing the Dias monument to the main road. We turn left on to this for 300m and then right down the hill back to the cars. This will give us around 11km

Rendezvous and start time

The park opens at 7am. The queues can be long so please arrive early. It is about an 8km drive from the gate to Buffelsbaai  so we will start running at 7h30 am.

Park at Buffelsbaai lower parking – NOT Buffelsfontein info centre

Please remember your entrance fee:

• R90 with SA ID (no cash – credit or debit cards)
• MyGreenCard - recommended
• WildCard with letter

Terrain & Distance

The route is a mixture of single track, jeep track and tar to stretch out the legs

What to bring 

Water, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information. It is nice to swim in the pool at Buffels Bay after the run so come prepared.

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate waterproof/warm gear. Cape Point can be much windier and colder and wetter than the rest of Cape Town

Please note that TMT unfortunately does not allow dogs on its runs.

Please be aware that our runs operate under strict COVID protocols even though now on level 1. 

• All runners to carry a mask or buff
• Practice social distancing
• We will break into small groups as per regulations while we run
• 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

Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS SATURDAY 20th NOVEMBER 2021 : NOORDHOEK BEACH

Good Friday All,

Tomorrow's beach run is confirmed. Low tide is at 9.30am, so we should have some nice firm sand to run on.

The weather is looking a little overcast so don't forget to bring a warm top.  Maybe leave your hat at home though - it probably won't stay on your head in the 40km/h bracing wind!

There will be a brisk walking group too.

See you at the beach parking lot at 6.25am.

:)

To: Table Mountain Trailers Group <tmtrailers@googlegroups.com>

Hi Trailers,

This week's run is a favourite of mine for its run-ability (no climbing!) and beautiful ocean atmosphere. It's a flat out and back from Noordhoek Beach to Slangkop Lighthouse, or wherever you decide to turn around.

Rendezvous and start time
RV in the main Noordhoek Beach parking lot at the end of Beach Road. Ready to start at 06:30.

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

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. 

Walking group to be confirmed.

COVID BLURB:

We're on level 1 so we can relax a little but please remember to adhere to the basic COVID principles below:

• All runners to carry a mask or buff
• Practice social distancing
• If you have any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms, please stay at home.

• VOB reserves the right to stop TMT if the COVID infections increase again in the Western Cape.

See you all there!

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
• 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
• If you have any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms, please stay at home
• If you are not comfortable with group running yet, we hope to welcome you soon

 

 

 

See you there!

Warning:  Trail running is inherently more dangerous than road running.  It may take 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.

 We park on Theresa Ave in Camps Bay – See directions below –
