Lars Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Anyone riding tomorrow morning starting from emarentia dam?Thanks
Paul Ruinaard Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 See you are new and from Cape Town.... Most of the rides up and down the spruit start from the Trailhead which is in Conrad drive Blairgowrie. They ride up to emmarentia, on to Alberts etc.. Not sure how many ride from Emmarentia ... Go to the Trailhead and park there - you will get many groups, or ride down from Emmarentia and you will come to the Trailhead. Be careful of the top of Emmarentia near Judith road in the botanical gardens area - there have been some recent muggings there next to the fence on Judith Rd cnr Beyers Naude which is right at the top of the trail on the tree line.

Can one then go from Alberts up to water tower?

When you get to the small dams below emmarentia, as you cross the first small dam you branch right and head behind the scut hall. Then just follow your nose. You get to Alberts, over the back of Alberts and then just traverse up the roads to get up to the water tower on the hill. Its pretty obvious which are the correct roads - as long as you are still going uphill you are on the right path. Some roads are quite steep...
