Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 22 July 2023: Cape Point - Olifantsbos

 

Hi Trailers

 

Next Saturday we'll take a trip down to Cape Point and do the Shipwreck and Sirkelsvlei routes starting at Olifantsbos.

Route

We meet at the parking at Olifantsbos and take the shipwreck route along the beach to view the remains of the wrecks. We then turn off the beach to climb up the hill to the interior. At the junction we turn right and make our way to sirkelsvlei which should be full at this time of year. At the vlei we turn left and make our way along Mimetes Ridge back to the cars.

For those that want a slightly longer run, carry on straight at Sirkelsvlei and do an out and back run to the jeep track crossing (an extra 4kms) before rejoining the route back home.

Rendezvous and start time

The gate opens at 7am. We would like to start running at 7:45am.

The turn off to Olifantsbos is the first right turn after the pay gate (after around 2km) and it is about 10km to the parking.

At the T junction (after 6.4km) turn left and follow the road to the parking area. Look out for animals.

There is limited reception in the park so please make sure you know where you are going and don't be late.

Terrain & Distance

The route is a combination of beach and single track.

The route is around 10km with an option to do the out and back to add 4km. There is a shorter option.

What to bring 

Water, appropriate clothes for cold, windy, or wet weather, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate waterproof/warm gear.

Please note that TMT unfortunately does not allow dogs on its runs.

• Please carry emergency contact numbers in your bag or on your wrist/shoe
• If you are not well, please stay at home

Warning:  Trail running is inherently more dangerous than road running.  It may take place over uneven hazard strewn trails in exposed and often remote terrain where help is not always readily available.

Participation is voluntary and entirely at your own risk as although the organizers take reasonable precautions to ensure runner safety, it cannot be guaranteed.  To this end neither the Club nor the organisers personally can be held liable for any claims relating to inter alia, injuries, disabilities and death. Further any minor child participating in any trail running activity will be deemed to be doing so with the consent of his or her guardian.

 By starting out on a trail run you explicitly acknowledge that: 

1] you understand the associated risks involved and accept full responsibility for your own safety. 

2] you are medically and physically fit to participate and 

3] are carrying the necessary water, clothing and safety equipment required for the particular run.
