Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 13th April - Tygerberg Nature Reserve

Morning Trailers,

Tomorrow's run is ON!

There will be NO walking group.




This week we have a later start, 7:30 am as we head north to the Tygerberg Nature Reserve.

 

Please note, there is a R30 entrance fee.

 

Route details 

The park is not big but there are some good single tracks and a bit of elevation for us to zigzag around with amazing panoramic views.

We will run along the designated trails giving us ±12km and beautiful views of our beloved Table Mountain.
 

We will start with the Golden Mole loop, joining up with Tortoise, down to Caracal, along the border fence to Grey Rhebok, down Honey Badger, joining up with Ukhetshe, following the path back around until we get to the Golden Mole intersection where we'll go left down Watsonia past the mast turning right down Caracal back to the visitor's centre.  

 

 All in all, it will probably be around 12km and about 2 - 2.5 hours for the relaxed group as we stop to admire the views. There are many options for a shorter or longer run.

 

The walking group will be confirmed on Friday. 

 

Rendezvous and Start Time 

The main entrance parking lot is at the end of Totius Street, Welgemoed. 

The park only opens at 07h30 but please come earlier to sign in as the parking can fill up quickly, we will start as soon as possible after 07h30. 

 

  

 Terrain and distance

Mostly single-track and not very technical but it can be super slippery as the paths are smooth and hard-packed in some places.  

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


Dogs
Please note that K-Way 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, or card in your backpack.

R30 entrance fee.

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.
