TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS: Saturday 01 October 2022: Signal Hill circuit from Mouille Point (Green Point) lighthouse

Good Morning Trailers

We're City and Sea side this Saturday.

Route details

From Mouille Point (Green Point) lighthouse, we warm up along beach road and head up Glengariff Road (please be mindful of traffic).  At the top of Glengariff we hit the trail, catch our breath, and turn right to run above Sea Point. 

Following the Lions Head Path, at the intersection below the Kramat we can decide whether to head over to Signal Hill or continue around to complete the Lions Head loop, returning to the Kramat.

From the Kramat it's a nice flowing run along Signal Hill ridge to the next parking area where we turn right to head down towards the noon day gun.  We pause here to take some great pics with the cannons and of the view before bundu bashing our way down the side of the mountain.  

Continuing our decent we make our way through the houses down to Green Point park and return to the lighthouse (again please be mindful of traffic).
