18th May 2008, Zoo Parking - 13km

This week it is from the Zoo Parking at 7:30, and it's the conventional Zoo Parking run up Boshoff Ave to Top Tap, then along the ridge past Chiavelli's old place, over the M3 footbridge, and down to Wynberg School before coming back along Tennant, past Paradise Motors, and back to the Zoo Parking.

It's about 13 kms, but is a "quality run" with plenty of hills, and its magically scenic.
