Hello Trailers
This week we will be starting from Theresa Ave in Camps Bay.
Route:
We start at Theresa Ave and climb up to meet the pipetrack and turn left to find the Diagonal path. After a steep climb up (hopefully with a bit of water trickling past us), there are many options depending on time constraints. Instead of turning right at the top of Diagonal we will explore some of the gorgeous paths at the top before descending via Woody Ravine. From there it is 2km jog along the pipetrack down to the cars. Allow 2.5 – 3 hours for this route.
Rendezvous:
We meet in Theresa Ave (see below for directions) at 6.25am with the aim to start our run at 6.30am.
Please adhere to parking restrictions (yellow and red lines) and be considerate to all residents. Parking is limited. Park along the seaside and make sure that your car is facing the correct direction.
Terrain and distance:
This is mostly single track with a bit a of jeep track at the start and end. This route does have some exposure and a little rock scrambling, some steep climbs and descents, but the views are definitely worth it!
The distance is around 10km and there are ample routes for those who want a bit of extra distance.
For those who would prefer a less challenging route with less elevation, the relaxed group will be doing the Missing Link.
Please note that the relaxed group will meet at the bottom of Theresa Avenue at the start of the Missing Link route.
Directions:
Coming from town, pass the turnoff to the cable car at the Kloof Nek circle and continue down towards Camps Bay, taking the 3rd road to the left (Fiskaal Road). Follow this road up the hill - it winds up and around and becomes Francolin Ave and then Theresa Ave.
Remember:
Water, Whistle, Warm/windproof/rain top, ICE information and a snack.
Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, and we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning.
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.
Dogs
Please note that K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs.
Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.
Any queries welcome.
