TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Sat 29 June: Front Face

Hi Trailers!

This Saturday we return to Table Mountain Front Face before the route is shut down from 15 July to 1 Sep due to cable car maintenance.

Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 7:20 am at Kloof Nek top parking above MyCiti parking. We start running at 7:30 am.

PS there is now a Coffee Box in the parking lot.

How to get there?  

Drive up Kloof Nek Rd to the top and follow the signs to the Cable Station. After turning left onto Tafelberg Rd you will see a parking area on your left, it has two levels, turn left into the upper level.

Terrain and distance

Singletrack, technical, 'undulating'. 10-14 km's depending on whether you turn around at Platties (7km return) or go to Oppelskop and return. 2h30ish. Not for those afraid of heights.

NB: Also important to note is that we cannot take the short cut up steps and through the pine forest due to roadworks, so we will go carefully up the road to the Kloof corner steps.

Route

A straightforward out and back run along the scenic trail across the North Face of Table Mountain to Oppelskop and return. 

Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on 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, rain jacket - weather dependent, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

At this time of year, the weather can change fast. Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water.

Relaxed group: Route to be decided on the day.

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 there!

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - Saturday 22nd June 2024 - Up Oudekraal Ravine - Yellow Wood Traverse - Corridor Ravine

 

Hello Trailers

 

This week we will start from Theresa Ave above Camps Bay. 

 

 

Route:

We start at Theresa Ave (see below for directions) and climb up to meet the pipetrack.  From here we turn right and run along the pipetrack through Slanghole to the Oudekraal Ravine track.  After a very steep climb up, we plan to do a route around the base of Grootkop called the Yellowwood Traverse.  This is not a runnable route, but it does promise some beautiful views, a bit of scrambling and some caves to explore.   We will head down Corridor Ravine back to the cars.

 

 

Rendezvous: 

We meet at Theresa Ave in Camps Bay at 7.20am for sign-in and run briefing.  We will start running at 7.30am.

 

Terrain and distance:

This is mostly single track with a bit a of jeep track at the start and end. Some steepish climbs (😊) and descents, but well worth the views. The distance is about 10km but could take a little longer than the usual 2.5 hours.

 

 

Directions to the start:

Coming from town, pass the turnoff to the cable car and continue down towards Camps Bay, taking the 3rd road to the left (Fiskaal Road). Follow this road up the hill - keeping LEFT.  It becomes Francolin Ave and then Theresa Ave. Parking at the entrance is limited so park along the sea side of the road as far as possible taking care not to block any resident' s driveways or entrances. Please ensure that your car is facing the correct direction.

 

Weather:

At this stage, Saturday's weather looks cool and cloudy.  No rain forecast, but this is Cape Town so anything can happen.  Come prepared!

 

 

Remember to bring:

Water, Whistle, Warm/windproof top, ICE information and a snack.

 

This is a pack run so we are to look out for each other and ensure that the person behind knows we have turned.

We regroup frequently to ensure that everyone sticks together.

 

There will be a relaxed group led by Gaeleen but they will be doing the Missing Link.  Please note that they are meeting in a different place to the runners.  If you plan to join the relaxed group, please meet at the bottom of Theresa Avenue, at the start of the Missing Link trail.

 

Unfortunately VOB do not allow dogs to accompany us on our runs.

 

Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.

For any queries, please Whatsapp me.

Gary

078 998 7687

This week we start from Constantia Nek, doing a loop past Cecilia waterfall, Rooikatkloof, Skeleton Gorge, Kirstenbosch Dam and back to Constantia Nek Parking. A nice runnable route of ±12km with 740m ascent.

  

Route details 

Starting from the Constantia Nek parking we take the first left up the single track which brings us up to the jeep track, keeping right on the jeep track we head up the concrete road for a bit before turning right again taking us to the single track which leads us past Cecilia Waterfall, up Rooikat and down to the contour path. Turning left we follow the contour path past Skeleton Gorge to the Y junction which leads up the stairs, here we will head down into Kirstenbosch making our way back past the Kirstenbosch Dam through Cecilia Forest and back to Constantia Nek parking.  

 

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

The walking group will be confirmed on Friday. 

 

Rendezvous and Start Time 

Constantia Nek Parking (opposite La Parada Restaurant) at 7:20 am ready to start running at 7:30 am. 

The parking can fill up quickly, so I recommend arriving earlier. 

Terrain and distance

Mostly single-track and not very technical. ±12km, with 740m ascent.

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 Totalsports 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 - on your phone, bracelet/tag, or 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 no one is left alone.

Hi Trailers

 

Next week we will explore the Cape Point Nature reserve from the start at Olifantsbos.  We will run along the beach to visit the wrecks and the climb up to the plateau to run round Sirkelsvlei.

 

Route

From the start at Olifantsbos parking we will run along the beach visiting various wrecks along the way. After the last one, we turn left to go up the hill to the plateau and run the flowing single tracks up there. At the junction, there is the option to turn left back to the parking for a short run or turn left along to SIrkelsvlei.  At Sirkelsvlei we turn left to run back along the ridge to the parking. At that point there is an option to run straight to get to the road for an out and back to add extra mileage

Rendezvous and start time

The Gate opens at 7am officially. We will plan to start running at 7h45am to give people time to get there. There is no reception so we won't know if you're running late

Terrain & Distance

A mixture of beach and  single track. Distances estimated.

• The Sirkelsvlei run is around 10km
• The short turn off is around 5km
• The out and back can add up to 4kms depending on where you turn round

What to bring 

Appropriate clothes for possible misty, windy weather, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate gear, water and food.

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
