Hi Trailers,
This Saturday, we're in for another great trail treat: we'll meet at the Maiden's Cove Tidal Pool Braai Area in Clifton. From there, we'll climb up to Lion's Head via the Glen trail, sweep along to the far end of Signal Hill to tag the beacon, and then enjoy a gentle meander back down through the Glen. The route is around 11.5 km, with the option to push a little further up the Lion's Neck if you're craving extra distance and elevation. Expect sparkling Atlantic views, fynbos scents in the air, and that unbeatable Mother City backdrop.
Here's the Strava link from a previous sortie: 👉 https://strava.app.link/DgUw4MVdiQb
📍 Meeting point: Maiden's Cove Tidal Pool Car Park (coordinates: -33.9445348, 18.3757808)
⏰ Start time: 6:30am sharp – please arrive and sign in by 6:25am
👣 Walking group: TBC Friday
🌥️ Weather: Cool, mostly cloudy, around 13–15 °C, with a light breeze. Perfect!
What to bring:
Plenty of water
Sunblock and weather-appropriate layers
Whistle, space blanket, and your ICE tag/card
A cozzie + towel if you're brave enough for a chilly post-run dip in the tidal pool 🌊
🚫 Please remember: no dogs on our runs.
📖 All the usual T&Cs apply – see the blog for details: www.tablemountaintrailers.org.za
Let's kick off the holiday season in true Cape Town style—views, sweat, and maybe even a swim!
See you Saturday,
Lorraine
