Location: Kloof Nek parking lot
 Aloes, Lion's Head Route description: Our route will start with a crossing of Kloof Road at the Nek (please be careful), and then head along the single track path to Signal Hill. We then head back the way we came until we get to the foot of Lion’s Head itself, where we will take a beautiful route back along a scenic path that runs along the lower western slopes of Lion’s Head well above the houses of Bantry Bay and Clifton with superb views of the setting sun.
Leader: Rod Prodgers
Date: Wednesday 01 September 2010
Time: in time to start running at 17h45 sharp
Location: Silvermine North
Route description: From the start we enter the reserve and take the River Trail, running along the river until we reach the first jeep track crossing; here we turn right on to the jeep track and head up to the mountain bikers’ parking area; now some more jeep track as far as the path going up the slope on to Steenberg Ridge for some easy running along the crest of the ridge, until we meet the PUFfeR route coming up from the reservoir; another right turn and a short downhill spurt brings us to a steep zig-zagging descent all the way down to Level 5 in Tokai Forest; from there it’s about 2 kays of fairly rocky jeep track, gently ascending to the main Silvermine access road, and then the last 1 500 m dash back to the start. Sunset is at 18h27.
Please remember to bring your WildCards!

In my seemingly eternal quest to give my body every possible advantage against the beating it is taking, I bought a pair of HEADSTART Compression Socks.
 Headstart Compression Socks The idea is that the garment applies pressure to the limb, thereby stimulating circulation, and ultimately improving muscle recovery. They are ultimately meant to be worn after exercising, but it is now fairly common to see people wearing them whilst exercising.
It’s a pity they don’t have reflective detail on them, like my CAPESTORM Motion Tights.

I usually join the CRAG (Cape Runners Against Gravity) group for their Wednesday runs. It is a safe way of being able to run on the mountain — and lots of fun besides!
CRAG welcomes newcomers! I was fairly nervous to join the group on their runs, but they really are a friendly bunch, and will be happy to have you along. As a mark of respect, please be well equipped (gear, water, headlamp in winter), and abide by the rules of the mountain in terms of safety and environmental issues.
The routes vary from week to week, starting from places like, Constantia Nek, Newlands Forest, and Kloof Nek. You need to get to the starting point by 17h30 in winter, and 18h00 in summer.
To join the CRAG e-group, send a blank email to: crag-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
You will then be able to:
- receive e-mails of crag runs/walks and other events,
- join in group discussions, and
- send in info or news for general circulation.
