Sunday 9th May – Gaborone Dam City Scapes - 10.00Am

Sunday's run is from Gaborone Dam City Scapes starting at 10.00a.m 

For those you of not too familiar with Gaborone - directions as follows: from the Mosque Circle on Gaborone Sun Road, drive past the University on your left to traffic lights (robots). Go straight at lights to next circle (Tlokweng Circle). Go straight at this circle until the road just before the Toyota Showroom. Turn left at this road following directions to Sanitas which is signposted.  Take next turning to the left onto what is probably a very muddy dirt road and follow the road around to the right. Then drive about 600m and go straight past the first right which goes to Sanitas. There should be a Hash sign at this point. (If you get to Sanitas you have gone wrong).     Travel a further 1300 meters along the dirt road, past a workshop, you will see the dam wall on the right, stop at the boom; (NOTE there is a charge of 20 Pula per person at the boom, however I am sure that everyone will enjoy the outing)

Note, if at this time, your car is full of water, you are on the wrong side of the dam wall :  go back and start again.

1800 meters further will find you at the end of the wall and a sharp turn right for a further 1300 meters and right again into the rather run down City Scapes Public Resort where there will be a hash sign.

For those who are not aware of the area, the good gravel road continues for some distance past the venue, however the side roads then onto the dam edge are often very rough and please watch out for the animals, this makes for a nice outing at any time, however there is no way out other then the way in, through the boom.

You can also park at the boom and walk up steps to the top of the wall and overlook the dam.

 There is a bring and braai afterwards, stay and enjoy the day  

 PLEASE REMEMBER:there is an entry charge of 20 Pula per person at the boom
