Villa Spa Camping
Some may say we’ve gotten a little soft since the departure of Nick and Tazz? But rather than admit that I’m going to blame our recent camping trip to Villa Spa on Sharon’s colleagues. Villa Spa is a 4 star campsite located at Illovo Beach, just outside of Amanzimtoti. There are several accommodation options ranging from chalets …
Halloween At Mac Nicol’s
As we headed to Mac Nicol’s for Halloween I realised that 2015 had fast become the year of Bazley. Being my third post on this campsite for the year I’m not going to go into too much detail about the venue itself. It’s classed as a 4 star caravan park and, although I don’t know what that …
Grunter Bashing!
Since I primarily fly fish (and spend some amount of time mocking bait fishermen), I’m not going to spend too much time describing (or justifying) my bait fishing outing. Suffice to say it was a great day on the water despite tough conditions, mostly due to strong winds. Fishing was tough with only a handful …
Ifafa Campsite
With a four day weekend on the cards Sharon and I started looking for new campsites to visit with Emma. Funnily enough we made our final decision based on Emma’s passport. Having not been able to enter Lesotho earlier in the year when it was snowing we thought it was high time we braved the queues and …
Getting A Toddler A Passport At The Scottburgh (Park Rynie) Home Affairs
We arrived at the Park Rynie (Scottburgh) Home Affairs at 7am where we joined an already long queue. Starting at 7:30am people were let into the building in batches, which meant that everyone else was left standing outside in the baking sun. Sharon and I took turns at sitting in the shade with Emma, while the …
A Successful (Fishing) Trip To The Bend
Having spent the week pondering my Bend curse, I wasn’t the least bit surprised when we drove straight into pouring rain en route to the Bend. I was yet to visit in sunshine, and was yet to get in any fishing, unless of course you consider a short fishless session and a broken line fishing? I was …
Another Underberg Boys Weekend
Craving some trout fishing, Neill was kind enough to put together another boys weekend to trout mecca known as Underberg. I put in for a full day’s leave on Friday (rather than the usual half day) in the hope of getting in a full day’s fishing. Sadly this was not to be as Neill got stuck …
A Weekend At Kamberg
With Sharon and I both being exceptionally busy at work, and leave is a gift from above. So when a long weekend crept up on us we made the last minute decision to head to the Kamberg Nature Reserve for a weekend in the mountains. Our first stop was at Piggly Wiggly, early on Saturday …
Bait Fishing The Durban Harbour
On the odd occasion I down my fly rod and head out instead with a bait stick in hand. Sunday was one such day. Alan had invited me to join him on his trusty vessel to do a little grunter fishing in the harbour. Needing to pump some cracker we got to the harbour shortly after 9am, …
