Saturday 26th January: Woody Ravine, Valley of Red Gods, Kasteelspoort (Theresa Ave start)

Hi Trailers!

This week we go back up on to Table Mountain from the pipetrack side but start from Theresa Ave in Camps Bay at 6:30am 

Route:

We start at Theresa Ave and climb up the track to the pipetrack. Here we turn right and run along the pipetrack to Woody Ravine. We climb up Woody and turn left to run through the Valley of the Red Gods, Echo Valley and back down to the dam, going down Kasteelspoort and back down to the cars. 

For those who have time constraints, skip out the Valleys and go up Woody and down Kasteelspoort - still gives you a good workout!

RV:

We meet at Theresa Ave in Camps Bay (see below for directions) ready to run at 6:30am

Terrain and distance:

This is mostly single track with a bit a of jeep track at the start and end. Some steepish climbs and descents but well worth doing. The distance is around 12km and there are ample routes for those who want extra distance!

Directions:

Coming from town, pass the turnoff to the cable car and continue down towards Camps Bay, taking the 3rd road to the left (Fiskaal Road). Follow this road up the hill - it becomes Francolin Ave and then Theresa Ave. Parking at the entrance is limited so par along the sea side of the road as far as possible taking care not to block any residents entrances. Please ensure that your car is facing the correct direction...

Remember:

Water, Whistle, Warm/windproof/rain top, ICE information and to ensure that the person behind you knows where you have turned.

Unfortunately no dogs allowed

SANParks has come to the party (excuse the pun!) and reduced its tariffs for locals.

Rendezvous and start time 

Meet at Silvermine dam car park - through Gate 1 - ready to start running at 7.30am. The gate opens at 7am and there is usually a long traffic jam. Please arrive at the gate early so that you don't get stuck! Route briefing will be at 7:20am.

Terrain & Distance

This route is made up of jeep track and single track. The main group will cover about 10km in roughly 2 hours.

What to bring 

Water, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information. It is getting warmer these mornings so please don’t forget to put on sunblock before you leave home.  

Also cozzie, towel and a picnic for afterwards. 

Please note that TMT unfortunately does not welcome dogs on its runs.

Good Morning Trailers

The route this week is the City Bowl side, doing a variation of the old and new VWS (Volunteer Wildfire Services) short route.

Route details

As the gate for Deer Park only opens at 07:00, we will be meeting at the Kloof Neck* parking area at the bottom of Tafelberg Road. 

*note the attached route map shows the start in Deer Park

We warm up with a lung busting climb up the Kloof Corner steps.  We then get to stretch our legs and take in the full glory of the waking CBD as we run along the front face contour path above the cable station.  We turn down before we get to Platteklip Gorge (unless we miss the turn off in which case we run down Platteklip Gorge) to Tafelberg Road.  We turn right on Tafelberg Road and take in a little tar before we turn down left into Deer Park.  After a little loop above the 3 Towers we head back through Deer Park (be aware the "up" is not done yet) returning to Kloof Neck parking.  

Please remember this a pack run, so we try to stay together (if numbers allow we do usually break into different pace groups) but do look to make sure the runner behind you is not too far behind and has seen a turn in the route.
