Tougher than PUFfeR

There are also a few intrepid souls who take on the HI-TEC TUFFER PUFFER, there and back, equating to more [...]

Big Monday in Camps Bay
The Women’s Day Swim happened in crashing conditions in Camps Bay today. Thirty six litres of sea water went down various orifices, but I got the shots in the end. Respect to every man and women who nonchalantly took on those monsters, and walked away to tell their tales. Click here to view the images.

Into the Valley – Change a Life
Change. Life. Two words. The change can be big or small. Life has to be lived, in the best way possible. In the Valley of A Thousand Hills, a vast and undulating rural patchwork encompassing much of KwaZulu-Natal stretching inland from Durban, a beautiful story of grit and determination is unfolding. Here, within the meandering [...]

Leeu-koud in die Karoo
Leeu-koud. Net kop en maanhare … Dis hoe die manne in die Rooikat-kroeg in Sutherland se hotel die temperatuur in die Namakwa-Karoo beskryf. En ek belowe jou, hulle praat nie strooi nie. Ten spyte van die vuur, stywe doppe Oubies wat die rondte doen, en een van daai paneel-verwarmers in die slaapkamer, vermoed jy waaragtig dat daar dalk ʼn ysbeer of twee in die verlate hoofstraat ronddwaal hier rondom toemaaktyd.

Namibia – Wilderness Safaris Lodges
17 March 2010 Editors. They suck. Without fail they want you to make corrections to an article the very night before you fly at dawn. It has to be last minute, despite the fact they have been sitting on your copy for more than a week, and know full well that you are about to [...]

Hong Kong, China & Macau – 2010
January 18 – 28, 2010 OK, so it’s official : Chinese people are weird. And before anybody points out the obvious, I realise that I’m generalising here, and that they think I am one beer short of a six-pack too. But hell, having a couple across the aisle on Flight SA3962 squeeze each other’s zits [...]

Bimbache Extrem Adventure Race
SPAIN – MAY 2009 14/04/09 Relatively Good travel karma this time around, with my midday flight to Jhb giving me a few quiet hours in the VIP lounge. Can’t say the same for Tweet and the Adventure addicts though. They have been dogged by trouble on their mission to compete at Bimbache Extrem; first Hanno’s [...]

Wild Dog Census – Limpopo Trans-Frontier Park
MOZAMBIQUE 27 January 2009 Day One is as Day One does. Travel is cool, but sometimes getting to the beginning of your intended journey is a bit of a bitch. At least I get to sleep over with Janey-Jane in Rondebosch, so the journey to the airport is a quickie, so to speak. And from [...]
