Hi Trailers
Our run on Saturday is ON.
As the river walk is closed we will now meet at the mountain bike parking which is halfway up the tar road to the dam – on the right
It looks like we will have a break in the weather but come prepared just in case.
There will be a walking group starting at the dam parking
See you there

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 20 July 2024 Silvermine West (Gate 1)
Hi Trailers
As there has been so much damage and many areas of the mountain and cape point are closed, we will play it safe on Saturday and explore Silvermine West.
There is an entrance fee of R40 so remember your wildcard, green card or cash plus ID
Route
We will park at the first car park just left of the entrance gate. From there we will run up the River Walk and take the track that leads to the Bike car park. We run through the car park and go up Steenberg Ridge following it to the track down to Elephants eye lookout. Once at the lookout, we can decide to go to the cave as a detour or turn left along the jeep track to get back to the main track. We go up toward Hout Bay lookout but take the left turn to run the amphitheatre path. We follow this flowing track to the jeep track, turn left and run down to the first right turn and take the single track down towards Ou Kaapse Weg. When we reach the jeep track, we turn left to get back to the car park.
Rendezvous and start time
The Gate opens at 8am. Please try and arrive early as there will be a queue. We will plan to start running at 8h15am. There is no reception so we won't know if you're running late
Terrain & Distance
A mixture of degraded jeep and single track. Distance estimated at around 12km with shorter and longer options available.
What to bring
Appropriate clothes for possible rain, 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

To this end neither the Club nor the organisers personally can be held liable for any claims relating to inter alia, injuries, disabilities and death. 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.
