Hi Trailers!
Saturday 9th December sees us meet for our last official sortie of 2023. We'll run one of our old Silvermine favourites, Three Lookouts and a Peak, and celebrate the year's finale with a picnic brunch and a swim in the dam, weather permitting. (Third year lucky?)
Route
Starting at the car park nearest to the dam*, we'll head towards the fire lookout over Tokai, meander towards Blackburn lookout and complete the circular route via Noordhoek Peak to the Noordhoek lookout. There are options to include the Panorama path, the Crassula Path, divert to Elephant's Eye Cave and/or extend the distance with a jog down the River Walk. We'll organize group leaders and sweeps on the day. (Last year the lazibones in the fast group missed the Noordhoek Lookout. Make sure you tag it this year!)

NB: There is no cellphone signal in Silvermine so if you are running late, there is no way to let us know. Don't be late!
Entry fee to Silvermine is still amazing value at R40 per adult - but NB: no cash. Please bring a credit or debit card. Also remember to bring your ID book to prove you are a SA national.

Alternatively, buy a MyGreen card at the Tokai SANParks office this week (https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table-mountain/cards-permits/my-green-card), or carry your Wild card.
Terrain and Distance
Single track, jeep track, and a little bit of rock hopping. Depending on the group you join and the whim of the day, you'll run somewhere between 8 and 12km.
Groups
We will organise groups on the day. There will definitely be a "Lorraine's speed" group, hopefully a faster group and possibly a walking group. All to be confirmed on Friday.
Please bring:
A whistle, WATER, a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE (In Case of Emergency) tag or card.
If you're staying for a Christmas picnic, please bring a cooler box with your favourite snacks and cool drinks. Invite your home family to join you and meet your trail family!
Unfortunately we do not welcome dogs on our runs.
See you there!
