marko35s Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Trouble is that the aliens grow so fast that some of the trails cleared earlier may need a second round by the time we are allowed in. Already happening in some cases, Boomslang and Snake Eyes in particular being prone to regrowth with Vasbyt not far behind.The trails we have gone mad on lining seem to hold out a little better which is one of the reasons (besides being sandy as a beach) Snake Eyes is now lined from the entry all through to where the rocky section starts.Regarding the lack of shade - the hotter days this week were certainly uncomfortable from 11 am onwards but as has been mentioned there does tend to be a bit more breeze now to help counter it.
i24 Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 And the sharp eyed will have noticed that we have started putting up trail signs to further our harassment of parks and add a little more pressure... Wonder if anybody has done a "safety inspection" yet (on two wheel). Now don't spoil things by publishing an answer on social media...

capediver Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 If you haven't already seen this, this was the first official volunteer re-build....lotsa hard work done since I see! Excellent!
jimmy hardtail Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 People have ridden the trails officially as a test run to see if the features really work as intended. No matter how good a builder you are, some things just need to be ridden to make sure that they work. I wish that i was one of the selected test riders, but my skill level is not quite up there

Headshot Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 So, the silence from Table Mountain Park continues as far as I am aware. The trails are ready to ride - mostly signposted and all the requirements that parks have demanded from us have been provided and exceeded in some cases. Hundreds of thousand of Rand in man hours and cash, but still nothing... So frustrated...

Just wanna get in there ASAP.
Eddy Gordo Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Dammit, I am waiting and waiting and waiting, just like everyone else.I have put off renewing membership for this, and I suppose chances or an early opening are fading fast!!

dirtypot Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Has there ever been this much excitement and hype about a 'new' trail opening?
