Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 13TH MAY 2023 - VLAKKENBERG TO HOUT BAY POINT TO POINT
To: Tmtrailers <tmtrailers@googlegroups.com>
Hi trailers!
This week's run will see us back in the Hout Bay area, but we'll be running point to point from Constantia Nek via Vlakkenberg peak, past Picnic Rock and down the single track past the manganese mines to finish at the parking area on Hout Bay beach.
Route and Terrain:
We'll huff and puff up the Vlakkenberg steps behind Silvermist and follow the Hoerikwaggo Hiking Trail until we see the path leading off to the left towards Vlakkenberg Peak. Here, we'll run a short out and back to tag the peak and take in the proteas. Returning to the main trail, we'll run the undulating rocky path until we meet the tar road, run along it for a few metres and then take a right turn back on to the single track to stop at Picnic Rock for a photo shoot. Then we continue on the flowing HHT (I think it's called Alfie's Path) all the way to the Manganese Mines and onto Chappies. It's all single track except for the last km which is on Chapman's Peak Drive.
Rendezvous and Start Time:
We'll need to do some car admin this week so the options are to meet at Hout Bay beach parking to catch a ride up to the Nek or to park at the Nek and organise a ride back to your car from the beach after the run. We can use the WhatsApp group to organise this during the week. Either way, you need to be at the Nek by 6:55 to start running at 7am.
Distance; 10-11 km, taking us approximately 2 hours.
Relaxed Group: To be confirmed on Friday.
The small print:
All the usual rules apply with regard to water, warm tops and whistles, as well as space blankets and ICE information.
This is a pack run - not a race - please stay with your group! Please also remember to look behind you at every turn in the route to make sure the people behind you see which way you are going. Front Runners, wait for the back of your pack to catch their breath before moving on.
Please note no dogs are allowed on our runs.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Regards
