TRAIL RUN DAY 2

35 km

The climb out of from Cedar Falls Base Camp up Honeybush Kloof is a good effort, and thereafter the traverse lines and climbs keep going up and down for about 4kms. This part of the trail is tricky at times with loose material on the path on the ascents and descents. The run along the valley floor and river bed down Kasey Kloof is a smooth and chilled 8km. The trail then turns west into the awesome Birdsong Kloof for another 5km of easy running, before hitting the biggest climb of the trail, Fond Farewell. Very few will run this as it feels straight up and is loose underfoot, through walking it is not likely to give you any sense of a rest. Once on the plateau it is a good path meandering up and down the ridge lines before your final steep descent down to Cedar Falls Base Camp. There is water at two points on the day’s run, with one being at the hikers 3rd night camp site.
