On Sunday afternoon we headed over to Nick’s place to try out the new Baha Boys beer brewing kit. We smashed down a few burgers and then got down to the real business of beer brewing. All was going well until we discovered, with 20 odd liters of fluid in our barrel, that our tap was faulty. …
Fresh off a week at Mkhuze Sharon and I were at it yet again, only this time we were heading for the mountains to overnight in Zulu Cave. The original plan had been a hike to Marble Baths but sadly it was booked and we were forced into plan B. We met Lyall, Caroline and …
On Sunday morning I woke up at around 5:30am to far more light than I expected. By 6am I was at Nick’s place where Clinton picked us up and we headed for Kamberg, stopping of course for a cup of coffee and a doughnut. We arrived at Kamberg at around 7:30am in thick mist and …
With a dinner theatre just 1km down the road you’d think I’d have gone their before…or preferably more often. However after two years of living at Plantations I’d never been, although I had been known to recommend it often.

Friday night was spent at home packing the necessary jackets, sleeping bags and any other warmth we could muster. A cold front was fast approaching Lesotho and we were definitely going to be ready for it. Part of …
The Sterkies trip had been put together in June/July and everyone had high expectations. I therefore donned my Superman shirt for day one just to prove to everyone that I meant business. Game on! We met at Nick’s place and spent the next hour trying to work out which cars should be taken. Apparently we …
Nothing like some Sterkies gold caught on the fly rod!
I picked up Bruce and Nick at 5:30am and we began the long journey to Reekie Lyn, a 5km section of the Mooi River just below Kamberg, which we would be fishing for the day. Sadly things got off to a bad start when the rain started bucketing down before we’d even reached Cato Ridge. …
In breaking with the “lazy Friday at home” tradition, Sharon and I braved the world of kids and headed for MacNicol’s. For those of you who are not familiar with the camping scene, you basically get two types of camp sites. Type 1 is quiet, relaxing and normally spacious and relatively empty. Facilities are minimal, …
