WEBVTT - The Outdoor Report with Jeff Ayliffe

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, you heard doctor Nex MacLean. They're saying it's a

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>day for adventure, and if it's a day for adventure

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>for you, then let's find out what Jeff Aleff is

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>up to. Thanks Amy, good morning. Strong rains predicted to

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>continue in k Jon with a high of just fifteen

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>degrees celsius today, strong winds from the north northwest, and

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 1>last night the South African Weather Service issued a yellow

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>level one warning for disruptive rainfall that'll push through until

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 1>this evening, posing some potential risks again of localized flooding.

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's especially considering the very saturated soul conditions from

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the frontal system that hit Cape Chwan earlier. And you

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.319
<v Speaker 1>asked to remain vigilant in light of a rising need

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>for humanitarian assistance. The city is collaborating with a network

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of non governmental organizations or NGOs to continue outreach efforts

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and those includes provision of hot meals, blankets, personal hygiene

0:00:55.040 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>packs to those affected in the adverse weather conditions. Tomorrow

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>showing signs of starting to clear with the wind swinging

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 1>to the southeastern, it will be getting a few degrees warmer,

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>but keep in mind those people who are going to

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>be really struggling in these conditions Peninsua around us. The

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>hike scheduled for today, I'm not sure whether it's going

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to happen due to the rain, but it's the Myburg

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Ravines two waterfalls, meeting at nine am at Farrier's Way

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>in hout Bay. But if you wanted to find out,

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you can send a watchapp to Les Watson eight four

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.839
<v Speaker 1>eight five six one seven four to two eight four

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>eight five six one seven four to two. The hike

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>foot to morrow is Corridor Ravine meeting at eight o'clock

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.279
<v Speaker 1>in Teresa Avenue. It's going to be along the pipe

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>track up Corridor Ravine backdown Woody Ravine. A very strenuous

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>five to six hour day out. Speaking of hiking, just

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>a word from sand Parks. They are reopening some of

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the trails in the Tokai and Silver Mine. It's going

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to be happening in phases from July. The first following,

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>of course, the big fires that affected nearly two and

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>an and attacts. So silver Mine Gate two located on

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the eastern side of okpp Zebek and that includes the waterfall,

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Colkbow Trails, Echo and Space Bona Valleys, Boys Drive and

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Steenberg Plateau trails. Those will be reopening on the first

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of July. Likewise, Upper Tokai will reopen on the same day,

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>excluding levels four and five, which will stay closed due

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to unstable terrain during the raining season. Silver Mine at

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Gate one on the western side of Okoppszebek and that

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>includes the popular silver Mine Dam, the Elephant's Eye Trail

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and the silver Mine Riverwalk. Those will stay closed and

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:41.119
<v Speaker 1>the targeted reopening of those trails is September of this year,

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>while the silver Mine Dam and Riverwalker are expected to

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>only reopen in December of this year, pending some ongoing

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>structural restorations. Sand Parks would also like to thank the

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Honoree Rangers as well as the Kai Mountain Bikers for

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>their continued support in the rehabilitation areas and once again

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that appeal. Although some trails may appear unaffected visually, access

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>has been managed to ensure user safety and support the

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>ecological restoration. So there we have it. Given the inclement

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>flooding in lower to Kai and request from partners, the

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>organizers have also canceled today's visible safety patrol hike in Tokai,

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>so if you're planning on going on that hike in

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Tokay today, the Visible Safety Patrol hike, please be advised

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that has been canceled. That's where I'm going to leave

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it for today. We'll be back tomorrow. Keep yourselves warm,

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>keep yourselves dry, and as I said, spare a thought

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>for those who are really struggling in some of the

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>areas because of the suriin So until tomorrow, yes, for now,
