Silvermine Picnic
Head out to Silvermine for a picnic and swim with friends, or a short hike before you jump in the reservoir. A great spot to spend the day relaxing and have a long, leisurely swim. There are also several braai facilities, but first check whether braaing is allowed on the day (during summer and high winds it's not allowed due to the risk of veldfires). Dogs are allowed on the opposite side to the braai picnic areas, and here you will also find beautiful shaded areas to set-up your picnic ...

Fairtree Simonsberg Contour Trail Run, Day 2
The 12km route turned out to be an unexpected 15km on both days, and we were happy to have done it.

Two routes will be on offer for the two-day stage race, the long route being around 25km each day and the other a 12km route on Saturday and Sunday."
