Hi, Trailers!
This Saturday we return to Table Mountain Front Face.
Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 6:20 am at Kloof Nek top parking above MyCiti parking. We start running at 6:30 am. Sunrise is 05:48 am.Terrain and distance
Singletrack, technical, 'undulating'. 10-14 km depending on whether you turn around at Platties (7km return) or go to Oppelskop and return. 2h30ish. The longer distance group may want to run further to Blockhouse and back, about 17 km return.
Route
A straightforward out-and-back run along the scenic trail across the North Face of Table Mountain to Oppelskop and return.
Rendezvous and start time
RV in the upper Kloof Nek parking area at the foot of Tafelberg Rd on your left. Ready to start at 06:30.
How to get there?
Drive up Kloof Nek Rd to the top and follow the signs to the Cable Station. After turning left onto Tafelberg Rd you will see a parking area on your left, it has two levels, turn left into the upper level.
Terrain and distance
A good fairly steep climb up to the upper contour path below Kloof Corner ridge then along the undulating single mountain contour trail which runs across the North face overlooking the City.
Once upon the contour path, there are a few modest gradients and most of it is along single gravel and rocky trail with occasional precipitous short stretches but the route is easy to follow. We will take the path up to saddle rock. Distance is about 10-14 km taking more or less about 2hrs 30m.
Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps in the morning.Dogs

Important: Please 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.Gary PhipsonCell: 078 998 7687
