A few friends and our families headed to Underberg for a relaxing weekend at KarMichael Guest Farm, located on the outskirts of Himeville. This of course meant that we were within spitting distance of the UHTFC waters; a temptation too good to resist. Sharon and I left early on Thursday morning after feeding Emma. The …
With four days to play with Sharon and I opted to take Emma to Mkhuze Game Reserve for her first ever Easter. We of course invited granny who loves the bush, and amazingly my sister flew out from the UK to join the adventure. So a family Easter in Mkhuze it was. Not knowing how …

Emma and I are now officially ready to dominate the Drakensberg!
Our annual Midmar camping and bass pilgrimage got off to a rocky start on Friday afternoon when I received a photo of a decimated gazebo from Nick. He’d taken a half day and had headed up early with the family to get a small advantage over me with the bass bashing. Much to his dismay …
