RE: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - Saturday 17th September 2022 - Simonstown to Smitswinkel

Hi Trailers,

 

Next Saturday we will be venturing along a beautiful route starting from Simonstown. This is a point to point route, so there will be some car admin involved. The trail requires a permit from SanParks and permission from the landowner of the private reserve that the path crosses. This has been organised, and each group will need to carry a copy which I will supply at the start,  just in case there are rangers on the mountain.  SanParks would like us to report any sightings of klipspringers, ideally with photographs.

 

Route
We start from Jan Smuts Drive in Simonstown and climb up the jeep track which turns into a single track towards the Quarries. Just before the Quarries we take the path that turns to the left, and climb up towards Blockhouse Gap, passing ruins of a Blockhouse. At Blockhouse Gap we take the path to the left to climb to the top of Swart Kop. The path continues south towards Smitswinkel, along the top of the Swartkop mountains, and then descends towards the Smitswinkel tented camp and the road to Cape Point, near where the cars are parked at the end. For extra distance, there is the option to cross the main road and continue down to Smitswinkel Bay, with a climb back up to the car park. If the fast group needs a lot more distance, there is the option to run back to the start, either on the trail or on the t*r along the coast (approximately 19km if completing the full loop...). There will be around 739m ascent in total on the basic route.

Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 7.20 am at Jan Smuts Drive, Simonstown (near number 30) ready to start at 7.30am. 

 

How to get there

Drive through the centre of Simonstown towards Cape Point. Just after Simons Town School on the right, and a convenience store on the left, turn right up Harrington Road. Continue to the T junction at the top and turn left into Jan Smuts drive. Continue along Jan Smuts and the start will be just after number 30 on the right. There should be parking along Jan Smuts, please be considerate when parking and do not block any residents access.

 

The car park at the end of the trail is at Smitswinkel Bay Corner (permit indicates max of 4 vehicles) This is approximately 12 min drive (9.3km) from the start.

Parking is not permitted at Smits Forestry station or Smits Camp, including driveways.

Terrain and distance
Starting on jeep track, then single track. Uphill start and then undulating with a steepish descent near the end. Around 9,5 - 11km depending on the route chosen.

Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning. 

 

There will be NO relaxed group on Saturday.

Dogs
Please note that K-Way VOB club rules do not permit dogs on our runs. The permit also indicates that dogs are not allowed on this trail.

 

What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top depending on weather, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.

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. 

 

Hope to see you all there for a great morning out on some beautiful trail !

Subject: TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 2022: Blackburn Ravine and Constantiaberg. Spring start time 7am

 

Hi Trailers

It's the theoretical start of spring next month so we're starting with a bang!

We are going to climb Blackburn Ravine and then up to the Constantiaberg Mast, down to Elephant's Eye Lookout and back down Blackburn.

A shorter flatter option for those who don't want to climb will go on the Manganese Mine/hoerikwagga trail to picnic rock and back

Route

We park at The Hout Bay beach parking near the Beach Café, run up the tar to East Fort and up the lower track to Blackburn. We ascend Blackburn to the lookout and take the path to the left which takes us to the Constantiaberg Mast. After tagging the peak, we run down the path going to Elephant's eye. We then turn down and run along the track taking us back to the Hout Bay lookout and down Blackburn via the upper or lower path depending on preference and back to the cars.

For those that don't want to climb, the shorter flatter option will take you along the Manganese Mine/ hoerikwagga trail on the other side of Constantiaberg towards picnic rock and the tar road coming down from the mast. Pose for pictures on Picnic rock and retrace your steps back to the cars

Rendezvous and start time

Meet at the Hout Bay parking lot at 6h55am ready to run at 7am . Note: earlier time

Terrain & Distance

The longer route is mostly single track with some degraded jeep track and tar to start and end.

We are climbing to the second tallest peak on the mountain so be prepared for the climb to the peak and then it is a wonderful descent all the way back down

The shorter route is mostly single track

The planned route is around 12km and the shorter route around 10km . Distances estimated!

What to bring 

Water, whistle, a space blanket and your ICE information. The weather can be different as we go up the mountain. Please come prepared for wind, mist, sun or rain!

Please check the weather before you set off from home and pack the appropriate waterproof/warm gear.

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

• Please carry emergency contact numbers in your bag or on your wrist/shoe
• If you are not well, please stay at home

Good Morning Trailers!

  

This week TMT will be returning to Silvermine via Gate 1 (the dam side).

Route

Starting from the Gate 1 Car park, immediately on the left as you drive through the Gate,  the longer, faster group will head up the River Walk to the Dam Car Park where they will turn right and head upwards on single track (blue line) to the Fire Lookout before heading towards the Blackburn Ravine lookout point, then up left onto the Panorama route (blue line), and finish off with a meander down to Gate 1 via one of the trails parallel to the River Walk. See Map.

 

The Relaxed Group will run from the Gate 1 Car Park (immediately left as you enter Gate 1 up the River Walk, taking the path to the right of the dam all the way to the Blackburn lookout. The return journey will be on the 'inside' of the valley, taking the Crassula path back to the Dam, and homeward either on a trail parallel to the River Walk or retracing their steps down the River Walk itself. See the red line on the map.

The Walking Group - to be confirmed on Friday - will trace the River Walk up to the Dam and back down, and perhaps add a saunter around the dam itself. (Green line.)

Terrain and Distance.   

Some undulating bush trails and gravel tracks, as well as some nice single tracks. Distance will be approx. 10 km for the shorter route and 14 km for the longer route. +- 2hrs 30 mins

Rendezvous and start time

Take the first entrance to Silvermine on the right coming from Tokai. Gates to the reserve open at 8:00am but the queue can be long so get there early.  We will start running as soon as possible thereafter but no later than 8:20am. 

NB: There is absolutely no signal at Silvermine so if you are late, we will not get your "Please wait, I'm coming!" messages. Don't be late! ;)

 

Please note there is an entrance fee of R35 for SA Citizens (cash only) unless you have Wild Card or Green Card. Remember to bring your ID,
