Hi Trailers,


OUR RUN IS ON TOMORROW!    and     THERE WILL BE A WALKING GROUP.


Weather:   Looks good , 17 - 24 degrees and sunny   Remember the sun block and a costume and some refereshments afterwards.



 

On Saturday and explore Silvermine West. There is an entrance fee of R42 so remember your wildcard, green card or cash plus ID


Route

From the dam parking, we head up onto Steenberg ridge.  Thereafter we make our way to the fire lookout, and potentially an out and back to Elephant's eye cave..  We then make our way back to the jeep track and head out to the Blackburn Ravine lookout overlooking Hout Bay. Weather permitting, we will take the Panoramic /Skyline route until we join the jeep track again.  There is an option to do the Amphitheatre/Crassula path instead.  From the jeep track we take a nice single track to join the Old Wagon Road and head towards the gate parking, finishing off going up the River Walk and back to the cars at the dam for a well deserved cool off swim. 

There are a couple of short cut options for the RELAXED group.

The Walking Group will be confirmed later in the week. CONFIRMED

Warning:  Trail running is inherently more dangerous than road running.  It may take place over uneven hazard strewn trails in exposed and often remote terrain where help is not always readily available.

Participation is voluntary and entirely at your own risk as although the organizers take reasonable precautions to ensure runner safety, it cannot be guaranteed.  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.

 By starting out on a trail run you explicitly acknowledge that: 

1] you understand the associated risks involved and accept full responsibility for your own safety. 

2] you are medically and physically fit to participate and 

3] are carrying the necessary water, clothing and safety equipment required for the particular run.
