TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Saturday 07 February 2026: East Fort, Hout Bay

[Samantha Brinkmann]

Happy Monday Trailers!

We’re heading to East Fort, Hout Bay this week.

Route details

Starting at the parking by Velocity Gym, we warm up with a trot to the start of the trail at East Fort. 

Bit of road, bit of jeep track, bit of single track, all the while treated to magnificent views (weather permitting) across the bay, we head towards Chapmans Peak.  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, 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, ready to start at 06:00 to avoid the heat.

Terrain and Distance

A mix of jeep track, single track and tar.  

Distance: +- 12 kms taking about 2h00 - 2h30mins, longer if tagging the Peak.

*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.

Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water.

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.  Please keep together and ensure that no-one is left on their own. 

PS  Sorry no dogs allowed on VOB runs
