2nd December 2007, Hout Bay (20km)

This week, we meet at the bottom of Chapman's Peak Drive at 7am. This is one of our longest runs but a scenic one and thankfully there are a number of short cut opportunities :)

We start by running up to the top of Chapman's Peak. The first coke stop is at the Lookout point. From here we head back down and the second coke stop is at the car park where we started. The route now goes right through to the circle next to Imizamo Yethu, here we turn right up Victoria Avenue and the third coke stop at the intersection with Empire (for a shorter route you can go down Empire). The route follows Victoria Avenue down though past the Spar and towards the beach and right to the end of the harbour before doubling back indie the harbour for the 4th coke stop outside Mariners Whalf. We now follow the road back along Princess Street until the circle where we turn back into main street. For those doing the full route, you turn into Promenade just after the Caltex garage, heading down to the beach and then back along beach road to the parking lot.

For those wanting to see an interactive Google Earth version, just download this small file (you will need right click and select "Save Target As" option). Open the file in Google Earth and you can Zoom right in on any section of the route - amazing stuff :) Click here to just see an image of the route.

24th November 2007, Waterfront (18km)

Starting at 07h00 from the gravel car park, the Waterfront Run takes you along the coast to Camps Bay, with stops at Moullie Point, President's Beach, and Camps Bay High School. It then climbs up the high road, giving you superb views of the coast before dropping down again at Sea Point Pavilion, and returning along the coast road to the Waterfront. A very pleasant out and back 18 kms, with turn back points at 6 and 12 kms for those taking it easy.
