[Lorraine Nevin]

Happy Monday Trailers!

Route details

From Mouille Point lighthouse, we'll warm up along beach road and head up Glengariff Road to the trailhead and turn right to run along the trail above Sea Point. We follow the Lions Head Path all the way around the bottom of Lions Head, and head back along the rump of the Lion, passing the Kramat to the 2nd parking area. Here we can choose to "out and back" to Signal Hill lookout before turning down towards Bo-Kaap. Taking the first left and then right we find our way to the noon day gun, where we pause to take some pics with the "big guns" and of the view before continuing our way down the side of signal hill.  We make our way back to the cars down side streets to run through Green Point park and return to the lighthouse.
