Harkerville red route

Some pretty cool trails.

Really nice flowing forest singletrack and some very solid views on the coastal sections. Technical skills definitely a bit rusty.

Brick run ;) (on the way to becoming a triathlete again :p). Some loops around the Garden of Eden boardwalks. Really cool indigenous forest!

C • Brick run 1

Leisure Isle perimeter loop, picking up the pace steadily.

5*800-900ish m efforts in steenbok park/back to Bollard beach. 2ish min walking break between.


Different routes for all of them. Ran the length of the park on the lagoon side/ through the middle/road side/ winding.


Feeling pretty slow (especially with Chilli destroying me on all of them), but the soft grass/uneven terrain definitely did play a part in that.

After doing some Google maps scouting I found some nice looking trails/runnable terrain between the heads and pezula.

So parked at the heads and found a gate Chilli and I could both crawl under (private property unfortunately). Ran along the top of the hills towards pezula, then a loop down to the coastline cliffs, past the dam, back up, down towards the vlei and then up the fenceline and back to the gate via the hill tops.

Some really nice terrain (somewhere between lower Drakensberg and bushveld), so spent a fair amount of time just making routes up.

Definitely some orienteering potential if we could get permission..

Really stunning evening with some coastal fog rolling in over the western head and some really pretty sunset skies.

With Chilli. Some exploring of the hills just off phantom pass.

Started off up what looked like a decent single track, but promptly ended a few hundred metres in, so bundu bashed for a while before finding the trail I'd wanted to be on. Up that to the top, bit of a loop on top+ then down back to the pass.

Lekker Robberg run.

Lots of stops to admire views/watch seals+whales/ talk to dassies/ watch sunset, so did a bit of an interval sort of thing pushing most of the the sections between stops.

The point trail+ visits to the "island", cave + beach

Sunset Ridge+ plantations with Chilli

Marking the 4 year anniversary with the classic night 3k.

Post long mapping session on Leisure Isle.
