Saturday 4 February 2023– Red Disa Run – Cecelia Forest, Skeleton Gorge, Reservoirs, Aqueducts
This Saturday we will go on an earlier than usual hunt for the red disas. They are fading fast, so, we will enjoy a pre-valentine’s disa run. Our route takes us from Cecelia Forest, via Skeleton Gorge to the dams, onto the aqueducts, down the aqueduct to Hely-Hutchinsin dam (swimming option here), over the wall, into Ash Valley down the cement road towards Contstania Nek till the U-bend at the big rock, where we will take a left down the stairs, at the bottom we go straight across down the winding path through the Eucalyptus trees till the contour path above Cecelia Parking. Wiz your way down back to the cars.
Rendezvous and Start Time
RV in Cecilia forest parking at the top of Hohenort Ave just off Rhodes Drive.
Ready to start at 6h00. Please come 10 mins earlier to sign the register and for a run briefing. Please bring money for the parking attendant (R10)
Terrain and Distance
The route consists of gravel road, steps, a nice climb with some rock scrambling, single track, cement road – so a bit of everything. Approximately 14 km taking in the region of about 3 hours, add on for swimming. Please note this is a pack run, and we will divide into a few pace groups on the day with a leader and a sweep chosen per group.

Sufficient water for hot weather, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information
