Good morning Trailers

 

This coming Saturday we are visited by Salomon shoes, they be at the start from about 6am to try on shoes.

We will be starting at 7am, so plan a bit of time to sign the register and get some of the talking out of the way.

 

The planned route is:

up the first set of steps, turn left, optional visit to Eagles Nest, up Constantia corner past the camel, down to de Villiers dam, past the cottage, right onto Smuts track to the top of Nursery ravine, down the ravine, many optional routes back.  Straight along the contour will give about 10km and about 2 hours.

Depending on the group, we can find some extra distance somewhere on the way back.

 

plotaroute looks like this:

Up Constantia Corner, Down Nursery Ravine - 10km Running Route near Constantia (ID: 2400009) (plotaroute.com)

 

Bring water, whistle, warm top, some snacks….

Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER 2023 - THREE BLOCKHOUSES

Hi Traillovers!

Tomorrow's run is ON! The weather looks to be dry but quite windy, and our route is a windy one, so fix your caps on with velcro!

See you at the Newlands parking at 7am.

To: Tmtrailers <tmtrailers@googlegroups.com>

Hi Trailers,

This week we'll start at Newlands Forest car park and head towards Rhodes Memorial to visit all three blockhouses.

Route

We start with a good warm up to Rhodes Memorial, then up the steps at the back of the Rhodes Mem carpark to the jeep track that runs above. We'll continue around the side of Plum Pudding Hill and take the right hand trail where the jeep track splits, and then the short out-and-back to the right to tag the Prince of Wales blockhouse.

Returning to the jeep track, we'll climb the zig zag road, but continue straight at the end of the second zig where we'll take the single track on the left leading up to the Queens blockhouse.

After visiting the Queens blockhouse, the single track continues climbing up and along towards the Kings blockhouse and joins the contour path below the Kings Blockhouse. There is a steep climb up to the Kings blockhouse and then back to the turnstile and along the contour path towards Newlands ravine.

There's an optional extension for the longer runners here: taking the single track above the King's blockhouse, run towards the gate at Tafelberg Road and loop back to the blockhouse when your legs are nicely stretched.

Depending on the distance you want to cover – continue along the contour path and boardwalks, and choose one of the many routes back down to the start. 

Rendezvous and start time

RV in Newlands Car Park at 07:00 ready to start running at 7:15am. A reliable source advises that there is now a coffee truck operating from Newlands car park from 7am, meaning that car thefts have diminished and your caffeine fix can be satisfied.

Terrain and distance

Jeep track and single track with plenty of hill climbing.
Distance about 14 kms and 500m ascent, but can be lengthened to 22km with 800m elevation for those training for longer events and trimmed down to 11kms for those wanting to do less. Either way, plan for a minimum of 2 hours, possibly 3.

Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning. 

Walking group to be arranged in the TMT Walking WhatsApp group. Please contact me if you would like to be added to this group.

Dogs
Please note that Total Sports VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.

What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top depending on weather, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

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.  

See you on Saturday!

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.
