TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS SATURDAY 6th SEPTEMBER 2025 -SILVERMINE THREE LOOKOUTS

Hi Trailers

This Saturday 6th September we'll return to our favourite ol' Silvermine circuit: "Three Lookouts and a Peak".  It's going to look very different after the fires, but it will be interesting to experience the rebirth of the flora. Check out Tim Lundy's Facebook post of yesterday here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/194LFLJjyW/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Starting from the dam car park, we head up to the Tokai fire lookout, then along the single track to the Blackburn Lookout, and finally along either the Panorama path or the Jeep Track but either way vía Noordhoek Peak to the Noordhoek Lookout.  

From Noordhoek Lookout back to the start there are several single track options for the group leaders to choose from on the morning, including an extension down the River Walk (TBC) towards the main gate and back up.

The route consists of jeep track and single track.

Rendezvous and Start Time

Start time subject to confirmation in Friday's email.  RV in the car park at the dam.

Time & Distance

We will aim to do 10 -12 km – taking in the region of 2-2.5 hours.  Our runs are pack runs and we will split into a few pace groups on the day.

Walking Group: To be confirmed on Friday.

What to bring

R42 CASH (no credit cards because there's no signal) or MyGreen Card or Wild Card. 

Water, whistle, warm, wind or waterproof top depending on weather and your ICE information.

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. 

No Dogs allowed on our runs.

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.

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.

Happy wet & windy Monday Trailers

This Saturday, National Women's Day, we're back on a familiar favourite route in Hout Bay.

Route details

Starting from the parking by Velocity Gym, we warm up with a trot up the road to the start of the trail at East Fort. From the shortcut trail we 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.  Along the single track we are treated to magnificent views (weather permitting) across the bay, note there is some mild exposure in sections adding to the adventure.

At approximately 7km groups can decide whether to summit Chapmans Peak or head down to Chapmans Peak drive, popping out by the "ticket checker".  From here we have a leg stretch on the tar (approx 4km) back to our cars.

Please remember this 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 Velocity Gym parking area at the bottom of Chappies, please come 5 mins earlier to sign the register and for a run briefing, ready to start at 06:30.

Terrain and Distance

A mix of jeep track, single track and tar.  

Distance: +- 12 kms taking about 2h00 - 2h30mins, longer if doing Chapmans Peak summit.

Walking group will be confirmed in Fridays mail.

*Please note adjustments to the route may be made 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.
