Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS IMPORTANT: Table Mountain Trailers - Start time correction --- and Buffs for sale


Yo ho ho!  YES - we are still running and picnicking this Saturday.

The bug is everywhere. Please, please, stay at home if you are at all unwell or have been in contact with anyone who has Covid. 

Otherwise, get through the gate as close to 7am as possible and drive up to the dam. We'll start running at 7.15am.

There will be a few brisk walkers and a relaxed group as well as the usual speedsters.

Check the details below re entrance fees and what to bring. Add a cozzie and a towel if you feel like a dip afterwards, and your picnic of course!

See you there!

Hi Trailers,

Please note a change to the start time of the sortie on Saturday 11th December: the gate opens at 7.00am so we will start running at 7:15 from the car park near the dam. (Or near as dammit.) :)

Also: Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! 

We have a few buffs for sale @ R70 each. They come in 2 designs:  Original (grey) or 10th Anniversary (navy). See swatches attached.

If you would like to buy one, please let me know and I'll send you the bank details for an EFT. 
Gaeleen will bring any spares to the run on Saturday too - if you'd prefer to pay cash.

See you there!

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

FW: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 4th December

Hi Trailers

Tomorrow's run is ON

See attached map, and below for more details

See you in the morning

Grant

 

 

This Saturday we retrace the steps of the UTCT champions in the lovely surroundings of the Alphen Greenbelts, Klaasenbosch, Cecilia forest etc.  Please note we won't attempt matching the pace of those UTCT competitors.  It will be a lovely steady pace with time to take in what nature has to offer.

 

Saturday 4th December   -  UTCT section with Constantia Greenbelts

 

Brief Description of Route

We will run the greenbelts, including the Alphen trail, Klaasenbosch and Diep River Trail.  We will run the route in an anti-clockwise direction – Constantia sports complex, Alphen greenbelt, Klaasenbosch, sections of Cecilia, Kirstenbosch, Constantia Neck and Diep River trail back into the Alphen greenbelt.

 

 Rendezvous and Start Time

RV at 06h20, ready to start at 06h30   in the Constantia Sports complex parking area.  Enter the sports complex (at the Brommersvlei/Constantia Rd intersection), and park on the left hand side as you enter. The parking area, as well as our route will be familiar with all K-way VOB members.

 

Terrain and Distance      

There will be a few ups and downs, some jeep tracks and some single tracks    Distance in the order of 15 kms, taking around 2,5 – 3 hrs. 

I am sure there will be a relaxed group as well as a walking group

Please remember to adhere to the COVID rules below:

  • No gathering in a big group at the 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.
  • If you have any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms, please stay at home.

 

Have a great week.
