Fun at Jump4Joy
Another family fun day, this time at a trampoline park called Jump4Joy.
The Xplorer UHTFC Festival 2016
This year the UHTFC decided to host it’s inaugural UHTFC Xplorer Fly Fishing Festival. Apparently the club has hosted festivals in the past, but these were well before my time and have long since been forgotten by club members and the committee alike. Bruce Taylor put his hand up and did the majority of the planning …

Some Tips and Tricks for Making a Time Lapse of a Pregnancy
Before I get started with my tips and tricks for making a pregnancy time lapse, I must confess that this was definitely not my idea, nor are my two versions the best. So before beginning your video I recommend heading over to YouTube and watching a few of the other time lapses out there to get some …
The Birth of Katie Leigh Prior
Katie’s birth was a very different experience to Emma’s as it was a planned Cesarean rather than the natural birth we’d tried with Emma. We made the choice to go C/S primarily because of the complications we’d experienced with Emma’s birth when, after 24 hours of labour and high levels of stress on Emma, we were forced to have an emergency …
Pregnancy Time-lapse #2
Three years later and I found myself repeating history, creating a stop motion and time lapse video of my wife’s pregnancy and the birth of our second daughter Katie. Amazingly I seemed to learn very little from my previous attempt and found myself facing the same problems including lighting, flicker, and image alignment. And despite have …
The 3 Falls Trail Run 2016
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 …
The Merrell Durban Winter Night Run
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 …
Fly Fishing A Wintery Hella Hella
At 4am I was awoken by the sound of pouring rain which left me wondering if our trip to the Umkomaas was still on the cards. Thankfully as I lay there the downpour slowly abated and by the time I climbed out of bed there was just the slightest drizzle. I made a few rolls, …
The Boston Fly Fishing Festival 2016
“I can safely say that the Boston Fly Fishing Festival is by far my favourite festival.” Yes, it’s a line that I often start my annual Boston post with, but it remains true. And this year was no exception, despite what were very tough fishing conditions. We got off to a great start by entering …
