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.
