So after loads of backwards and forwards... it is finally here... Our first (well not really) but first official VWCSA WC Chapter event.
Huge thanks to Mob Marley (Yuri) for arranging this in his spare time! I hope that its a success and that its the first of many CT events.
Details:
DATE: 11 October
• Meeting point @8:00am (Light house parking area in Sea Point)
https://www.google.co.za/maps/@-33.9017 ... 312!8i6656
• Leave for Kommitjie @8:30am
• Route: M3 onto Ou Kaapse Weg
• We arrive and park off outside the lighthouse in Kommetjie
https://www.google.co.za/maps/@-34.1475 ... 312!8i6656
• We spend 30mins there and then drive to Imhof Farm for breakfast

I hope that plenty people join in, and remember, its not just for Vdubs, anyone can join.
Breakfast will be at your own cost.
For details, post up here.
Peace

I made the route on google maps.
Just click the link at it will show you exactly where we will start and how we will drive

@Admin if the route is wrong let me know and I'll edit this post and fix it.
Eh...
That is not a very scenic or enjoyable route between those two points. If you're starting in sea-point it would make sense to go along past camps bay, around Hout bay and through Chapmans (if you're already spending money on petrol and food, just pay the R35 toll), then through Noordhoek to Kommetjie and then Slangkop lighthouse and Imhoff and then home past Cape Point and Simons Town. This involves many more twisties.

You will pay all or most of that extra R35 driving around the toll though, worthwhile to just go through.
Anyways I'm keen!

That is a good point, but the drive from the M3 is still a great drive and is enjoyable and is also relatively scenic.
We felt that if we went through Hout bay and Chappies most guys would want to stop off there for some quick pics. That would just essentially mean we arrive at Imhoff late and almost in time for Lunch. Better have a nice short run so that guys can still spend some time with family outside of the run
BUT! We do have plans to hit Chappies soon.

We plan on doing at least something once a month.

Thanks for the helpful posts everyone.
Discussed with Mob and the M3 sort of made more sense for this one...
Many more to come from CT chapter!
Well done Yuri

Hopefully we can get a fairly decent turnout for the first event.
The weather also doesn't look too bad, albeit a really early prediction; let's hope it stays clear or even gets warmer.

Also just pay attention to the local news, there have been service delivery / protests blocking the road(s) into and out of Kommetjie. However the protests seem only to happen on weekdays
Might pop through for the morning meet, as I have an appointment for tattoo at 10am.....
