Route 4 - Neck to Breakfast Rock

Start at the top of Constantia Neck.  Run the Bridle path (ignore the short cuts) until you reach Clayton's Road.  Keep on going up until you reach the Overseer's cottage (about 5km).  Just past the cottage you will find a path to the right marked by a cairn.   Take this path it is marked as the Hoerikwaggo Hiking trail.  Stay on this path running past the left fork into Ash valley.  Keep on going past the Nursery Ravine cairn.  Keep heading in the direction of Skeleton Gorge/Smuts Track.  Just past breakfast rock you will find a cairn and loads of signs, look for the directions to dams/Contantia neck.  Follow this path it will take you "inland" towards the Hely-Hutchinson.  At some point you will reach an old and rusty fence blocking your way.  Run to the left along the fence.  Keep fence on your right ignoring the paths off to the left.   After a shortish distance you will reach the road at the base of the Hely-Hutchinson dam wall.  Turn left and stay on the road all the way back to the car park.  On the way down take the short cuts for a slightly shorter route: 13.4km.

Route 3 - Three Valleys

Start in the car park at Silvermine East.  Take the jeep track towards the waterfall.  run past the waterfall off shoot and keep on going until you reach a fork in the road.  Take the right fork cross the stream and keep on the jeep track until you reach a path heading off to the right (contour path around Klein-tuinkop).  Take this path and follow it around and then up through Klein-Tuinkloof.  At the top of the valley you will reach a cairn.  Run left toward the Amphitheatre, as soon as you are over the sinkhole look for a path running to your right.  This path will take you down Echo Valley - follow it.  Stay on this path until you have reached the cairn at Weary Willy's, turn left crossing a stream.  Stay left at the first fork (right would take you down to boys drive).  Avoid the next left turn into Spes Bona Valley, rather keep right up the loose gravel until you reach a single track running off to the right.  This is the Hilltop path, take the right and run along Hilltop path until you reach the cairn at Bailey's kloof - you can't miss it - there is a serious drop off and you can see Bailey's cottage way bellow.

At the cairn turn left into Mimetes Valley, run up and through the valley.  Stay on the single track until you reach a junction with the jeep track.  Take the road leading to the right, this will lead you to Junction Pool.  At junction pool take a right and then an immediate left onto the single track that will take you back towards the car park.  Follow the single track until it joins up with the gravel road again.  At this point turn right and head on home along the road.  Just short of 13km's.
