Fwd: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 31ST AUGUST - EAST FORT TO CHAPMAN'S PEAK

Happy Friday Trailers!

It looks as if we are heading into a clear and sunny weekend so lace up your shoes, grab your hydropack and meet us at the car park near the Beach Bar in Hout Bay at 7:20am for sign in! Let's do this! 

The Walking group will be walking from the same place, at the same time, but sticking to the road. 

Good luck to all the Puffer and Pufhie runners too!

Hi Trailers,

 

On Saturday 31st August 2024, we head to the Republic of Hout Bay for a mix of trail and road.

 

Route details

We'll warm up with a trot up the road to the start of the trail at East Fort. We'll join the jeep track until we get the split to the higher contour path where we may split into groups, those who don't like heights or don't want the steeper climb can continue along the jeep track.  We all end up at Blackburn Ravine and follow the contour path towards Chapmans Peak. At the large cairn at approximately 7km we can decide whether to summit Chapmans Peak or head down to Chapmans Peak drive, popping out at the toll gate.  From here we have a leg stretch on the tar (approx.. 4km) back to our cars.

 

Rendezvous and Start Time

Meet at the parking at the bottom of Chappies, near the Beach Bar.

RV in the parking area 07.20 ready to start at 07:30.

 

Terrain and Distance

A mix of jeep track, single track and tar.  Distance: +- 12 kms.

 

Groups:
Please remember this a pack run led by a committee, and it's important that we look out for each other. Always make sure you check to see that the person behind you has seen where you've turned, if applicable.

 

We'll probably have two or three groups:

 

• Medium Group, taking the lower contour path and not summiting Chapmans Peak.
• Longer Group, taking the higher path and possible extension to Chapman's Peak.

And possibly:

• Walking Group to be confirmed by Friday

 

Please bring:

A whistle, WATER (remember a trail 12km can take longer than a road 12km), a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE (In case of Emergency) tag or card.

 

Unfortunately no dogs are allowed on our runs.

 

Have a great week!

Lorraine

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 03 August 2024: Cecilia Forest (Take 2)

Happy Monday Trailers

Looks like we have some "non-rainy" days this week 🤞 so we're going to try for Cecilia Forest again 😁

Route details

Starting from the Cecilia Forest parking we'll warm up through the cork forest parallel to the road until just above Southern Cross drive.  We won't go as far as the Constantia Nek jeep track boom but rather stay on the track as it loops back towards Cecilia parking. At the fork keep left and stick to the jeep track running above the SANParks compound until the "big tree" intersection where we can decide whether to go up via Cecilia Waterfall or continue on the contour path towards Kirstenbosch until we see the Cecilia Ravine sign where we turn left up a steep set of steps.

The Cecilia Ridge path starts near the highest point on the path and after some fun "easy" (depending on rain damage) scrambling and regular pauses to admire the spectacular view, we'll pop out on the concrete path with the Overseers Cottage to our right.  From here the long group can opt for an extension to the dams whilst the relaxed group will head back down on the Constantia Neck Jeep Track.

At the first look-out point chicane we'll leave the jeep track and follow the single track down through the trees across the trail path (don't turn left back to Cecilia waterfall) but continue on the single track through the trees until we join back up on the jeep track that will take us down to our cars. 

Please bring your sense of adventure as the route may change depending on damage caused by the weather as well as weather conditions on the day. 

This is a social pack run led by committee with plenty of opportunities for photographs, and its important that we look out for each other!

Rendezvous and Start Time

RV in the Cecilia Forest car park at 07:20 sign-in to start running 07:30

Please remember to support the car guard.

Terrain and Distance

A mix of jeep track, single track and light scramble, with plenty of UP.

Distance: +- 10kms Relaxed Group, the longer group will extend on the day.

Walking group will be confirmed in Fridays mail.

*Please note adjustments to the route may be made whilst running depending on the group and weather conditions. Remember to check Friday's email just in case there are changes.

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.

Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water.

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.  Please keep together and ensure that no-one is left on their own. 

PS  Sorry no dogs allowed on VOB runs

Have a great week!

Samantha
