Happy Monday Trailers!
This week for a change of scenery we are heading north to the Tygerberg Nature Reserve. Please note there is a R20 entrance fee, R10 for students and pensioners with proof.
Route details
The park is not big but there is some good single track and elevation for us to zig and zag around with gorgeous panoramic views.
We will start off with an up (of course) taking the 2nd path right (upper tortoise route) and wiggle our way to the radio tower and then right down Watsonia. Take a right onto Grey Rhebok down and then over the rump to Honey Badger. Left on Ukhetshe we will follow the path back round until we get to the Golden Mole intersection where we'll go right and wiggle waggle with the lower mole back to the visitors center. This takes us to about 9,5km so just for a little more distance we'll pop across to lower Tortoise and loop on Duiker around the small dam and forest area.
All in all, it will probably be around 11/12km and about 2.5 hours max.
Walking group will be confirmed on Friday.
Rendezvous and Start Time
The park only opens at 07h30 so meet at 07h20 at the main entrance parking lot, ready soon after 07h30. Parking lot is at the end of Totius Street, Welgemoed and does fill quickly. Directions are a little complicated, so best use your GPS and allow 35 - 45 minutes from the southern suburbs.
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. Remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to ensure the people behind you see which way you are going.
Reminder: if you are not feeling well please rather stay home for your own health and those around you.
Dogs
Please note that K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.
