Coetzenburg to Paradyskloof Trail Run

Our trail grading: ORANGE 3A

Distance: 15km

Extremeness: Technical single track and off-road

Location: Coetzenburg-Paradyskloof, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Joggers: Only me

I started (and ended) this awesome 15km jog from my house in Stellenbosch. The run started with a climb to old hut ruin at Coetzenburg and then cut across the foot of Stellenbosch Mountain towards Paradyskloof. I then connected to our old "Friday Regular" route. Unfortunately there were hundreds of cut-down trees, which killed many of the nice single tracks we use to run. On my way back towards Stellenbosch I ran down the "G-spot" MTB track, after which I passed the "Proefplaas" dam and then finished with the single track next to Eersterivier.
