Jonkers Eastern Loop Trail Run

Our trail grading: ORANGE 3A

Distance: 17km

Extremeness: Toughish climb

Location: Jonkershoek, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Joggers: Deryck Nel & me

This Saturday we had two hours to kill before the rugby (South Africa vs New Zealand) and we jogged an awesome 17km! We took the slow climb via jeep track and linked up to highest single track below the Pieke (Twin Peaks). Back on the jeep track we linked up with the newest single track in Jonkershoek - part 5 of the Canary trail. We then hit the contour jeep track heading towards Stellenbosch, away from the gate. From here on it was all downhill jeep track to finish the two hour jog. It was good to get some time on the legs...

Slow and long climb

More uphill

Top contour jeep track

Stream crossing... easier in spring 

Awesome single track
