TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS - SATURDAY 6 JULY - GONE4GOOD CHALLENGE

[Lorraine Nevin]

Hi Trailers.

This week we'll follow the route(s) for the Gone4Good Challenge.  There are 2 options: 

• Gone4Good Long - 18.8kms 1123m elevation
• Gone4Good Lite - 12.5 kms 830m elevation

Both routes start at Sentinel Ocean Alliance at Hout Bay Beach parking, and climb up via East Fort to the Manganese Mines. The long route then continues up to the Constantiaberg mast, before heading to Vlakkenberg and down via Price Drive to the finish at Gone. Outdoor Supply Co. in Constantia, Cape Town.  The Lite route skips the mast and heads straight to Vlakkenberg Peak from the end of Alfie's Path and Breakfast Rock.

There are no costs involved, but you are encouraged to make a donation to the fundraiser. The goal this year this to raise funds for Sentinel Ocean Alliance and The Friends of Table Mountain.
