 The Thursday Celtic Trail Group remains my favourite pack run. Here are the planned routes for May 2013. Please note that headlamps are now compulsory. [...]  I am really pleased I got to hear about this fun event! It promised a safe, fun, social crossing of the Langebaan Lagoon, and that’s what we got. [...] On one of many trips to Riversdale I headed up into the Garcia State Forest to enjoy riding the plantation roads amongst the endless acres of pine trees. [...]  I really enjoyed the inaugural Stilbaai Triathlon 2012 and was looking forward to the second edition. It did not disappoint and with the number of entrants doubled from last year it is clear that this is set to become a favourite on the calendar. [...]  The Salt River Trail is used for the African Otter Trail Run as a prologue to the main race. It is a gorgeous, short walk taking in beautiful views of Nature’s Valley: the dunes and coastal vegetation, the Salt River Estuary, rocky Garden Route coastline and beautiful sandy beach. [...]  The Century City Canoe Club Tuesday Time-trials kicked off last night for the 2013 season. I work close-by, and have been meaning to go and check the club out, so used this as an opportunity to do so. [...]  The DownWind Dash is held on Wednesday’s, and is a paddle from Milnerton Lighthouse to Big Bay Blouberg in downwind conditions (when Cape Town’s prevailing summer South Easter is blowing). Mastering downwind paddling seems to be the aspect of the sport that paddlers seem to aspire to, and it certainly is not as easy as you might think it would be. The reward when getting it right is a thrilling ride which will keep any ocean-lover coming back for more! [...]  This is a continuation of the Smitswinkel Viewpoint to Buffels Bay Hike, and also requires some vehicle logistics. Cape Point Nature Reserve is potentially very hot and very windy: be prepared for both! [...]  Three Firs is a steep little route up the side of a spectacular and short kloof. I did the route quickly from Theresa Avenue in Camps Bay, but you could start from Kloof Nek and enjoy the extra kilometres on the Pipe Track instead. [...] |
