Good day Trailers,
Please be aware of our runs under strict COVID protocols
Route
This coming Saturday we'll be getting our boots wet. From Cecelia Forest parking lot, we will go up the first muddy section of the river, take a right, up a little muddy path to the cycle track and the contour above Kirstenbosch. Along the contour to Skellies, up to the top. It is going to be wet. At the top take a right on Smuts track, left at the aqueduct, down the upper Disa river to the museum, across the dam wall, Ash valley, a bit of concrete, down Spilhaus Ridge, then Rooikat and back to the cars for a well-deserved refreshment.
There are lots of options to short cut the route at the top of Skellies.
Weather
At this stage the forecast is for a cool start at 14 degrees, some high cloud clearing to a BEYOOTIFUL day with very little wind. There is no rain during the week, but I am hoping that there will still be some water coming down Skeleton.
