Rosebank to Clifton Trail Run (15km)

Every Sunday at 9am there is an Ultimate game at Clifton. I haven't been in a while (a new baby does that to you) so figured I could add in a bit of training and do a route I have been planning for a while.

The run starts off from Rosebank, up to Mostert's Mill and Rhodes Memorial. From there I went straight up to the King's Block House which is rather vertical as apposed to the jeep tracks you can take. Thanks to being unable to get out of bed quick enough I needed a quick route, not a long one.

From the blockhouse it is a short run along one of the most beautiful tracks on Table Mountain and then a drop down to Table Mountain road. Sadly from here it is about 6km of tar to the roundabout at the top of Kloof Nek.

From Kloof Nek I was in for a surprise. I had previously run along Kloof road down to Camps Bay but took the trail to left of the road. It was brilliant - a well maintained trail that spat me out just above Camp Bay beach. A final short stint to Clifton and only 20 minutes late.

I got a lift back this time but I cannot wait to do the run again and and this time add in the return leg.

Final mental note - take a camera with next time! Oh, and the Salomon XA20 is a brilliant pack!
