TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 30th July 2022 : Cecilia Loop

Hi Trailers

 

Run is ON

 

The weather for Saturday looks good. However please ensure you have the appropriate gear on hand.

There will be no Walking Group.






Hi Trailers

Please note the change of route due to the Two Oceans trail run taking place in Newlands Forest, apologies for this.

Rendezvous and Start Time 

Cecilia forest car park at the top of Hohenort Ave just off Rhodes Drive, at 7:20 am ready to start running around 7:30 am.

 

Route

A very runnable route with a surprising amount of elevation.

Starting with a gentle climb up the jeep track to Cecilia Stream, we turn left at the stream to get onto the contour path, from here we run along the contour path past Skeleton Gorge taking the split to the right that leads down to the jeep track, heading towards Newlands and looping back on the lower jeep track into Kirstenbosch, past the Kirstenbosch dam and back to the car park. A longer group will do another loop towards Constansia Nek.


Terrain and Distance 

The longer route is +/-12.5km and the shorter route +/-9.5Km with many variations to choose from. Elevation +/- 570

The terrain is a mixture of a single rocky track and a flowing Jeep track.

 

What to bring 

Water, whistle, warm, wind, or waterproof top depending on weather plus your space blanket and ICE information.

 

Important:

This is a pack run with regular regroups. We usually split into two or three pace groups. Group leaders will be indicated on the day. 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. Remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to ensure the people behind you see which way you are going.   

 

Dogs

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