Hi Trailers!

Saturday 14th December sees us meet for our last official sortie of 2024. We'll run one of our old Silvermine favourites, Three Lookouts and a Peak, and celebrate the year's finale with a picnic brunch and a swim in the dam. 

Route

Starting at the car park nearest to the dam*, we'll head towards the fire lookout over Tokai, meander towards Blackburn lookout and complete the circular route via Noordhoek Peak to the Noordhoek lookout. There are options to include the Panorama path, the Crassula Path, divert to Elephant's Eye Cave and/or extend the distance with a jog down the River Walk. We'll organize group leaders and sweeps on the day. 

Rendezvous and Start Time

The main gate - the one with the SANParks checkpoint - opens at 7am so please make your way to the car park at the dam* as quickly as possible. We'll start running as soon as possible - latest 7:20am.

NB: There is no cellphone signal in Silvermine so if you are running late, there is no way to let us know. Don't be late!  

Entry fee to Silvermine is still amazing value at R42 per adult - but NB: CASH ONLY. Also remember to bring your ID book to prove you are a SA national. 

Alternatively, buy a MyGreen card at the Tokai SANParks office this week (https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table-mountain/cards-permits/my-green-card), or carry your Wild card.

Terrain and Distance

Single track, jeep track, and a little bit of rock hopping. Depending on the group you join and the whim of the day, you'll run somewhere between 8 and 12km. 

Groups

We will organise groups on the day. There will definitely be a Relaxed group (walking the ups and running the downs) adn a Walking group. Faster group TBC on Friday.

Please bring:

A whistle, WATER, a warm & waterproof/windproof top, space blanket and ICE (In  Case of Emergency) tag or card. 

If you're staying for a Christmas picnic, please bring a cooler box with your favourite snacks and cool drinks and a cozzie. Invite your home family to join you and meet your trail family!

Unfortunately we do not welcome dogs on our runs.

See you there!
