I've plotted a new route for our short-run mornings. Perhaps we can give it a test run tomorrow morning?
We start out as usual up Dean Street and along Newlands Avenue. Over the M3 and up Boshoff Avenue. Water point at Stone Church (+- 4km) and up that short steep little hill at the end of Winchester Street.
Now comes the new part of the route - we turn left into Bishopscourt Drive (instead of right which would take us up Glastonbury) and follow the road till we reach Lincoln Drive. Right into Lincoln and up the hill; Lioncoln becomes Norwich Drive, and from here we take a left into Canterbury Drive, which joins back to Bishopscourt Drive. Left into Kirstenbosch takes us back to that little connecting road onto Riverside. From here most of us know the route back to the M3 along the little stream. We can stop for water at the Shell if anyone is thirsty again. For a flatter route we can take the joggers alley and Mains Street back to Great Westerford. Another option, for one last hill, is to head up Ravensburg and down Dean.
This route should work out to around 10km. Detouring up Klipper Road instead of Dean adds an extra 500m. Ravensburg also adds an extra few meters. So let's call it 10-12km.
