Having had an immensely successful snow adventure 2 years ago (click here for the full report), we decided to give it another go when we heard that large falls were predicted over for the weekend. I took some unplanned, last minute leave and booked accommodation at a venue called Meadow Lane, just outside of Underberg. …
Looking for something to do on that odd raining day in Durban? I’d highly recommend the Wet Rock Indoor Water Park, complete with a lazy river ride, kiddies and adult slides, and a fantastic cafe. Check out some of the fun I had there with my family.
India is a sensory extravaganza! There’s no other reasonable way to describe it. The only caveat to that statement is that during my stay I only managed to spend time in two cities, Pune and New Delhi, and sadly never got to experience rural India. Would a change in my itinerary have changed my views? Probably …
Despite living just minutes from Kloof Gorge (Krantzkloof Nature Reserve) it’s an area I haven’t explored (let alone run through) since I was a child. So when I saw this year’s 3 Falls Trail Run in the race calendar I knew it was an event I could not miss. Sadly however, by the time I got …
Events with a difference always interest me, which is exactly how I came to take part in the Merrell Durban Winter Night Run. It popped up last minute on my Facebook feed (ah, the joys of social media) and I quickly went in search of a running buddy to join me for the adventure. Lyall …

I was therefore going to do everything in my power to make sure my little girl got to see snow for the first time, …
Check out this epic fly fishing adventure at Sterkfontein Dam, South Africa! Yellowfish as far as the eye can see!
Sterkfontein remains one the premier fly fishing locations in South Africa, growing in popularity annually with no end in sight. Not only does it provide some of the best sight fishing in the world, but it also offers fishing for a purely South African species in a venue of unmatched beauty. But it’s not all sunshine …
With a brand new tent gathering dust in my cupboard I decided that it was time to take the family camping. Being the middle of winter meant that the Berg was out of the question for Emma’s sake. I therefore decided on the “warmer” Lake Eland, located roughly 30kms inland from Port Shepstone. We left …
Another weekend and another race; this time a trail run starting at Freedom Trails, and running down into Giba Gorge and back out. It was called the Tough Man Series and certainly promised to live up to it’s name. Living less than a kilometer from the start I arrived bright and early, only to discover I was the second …
