With the streams opening on the 1st September Nick and I planned the mandatory, season opening, trip to the Berg. But then something strange happened, a friend invited Nick and I to fish a stretch of the Umkomaas with him. After much deliberation we decided that the trout could wait another week or two and …
The weekend started with another wedding, this time Western and Karen’s. Amazingly it was Karen who had caught the garter at our wedding, so perhaps there is something in these old wives tales. With the ceremony being held in the Firgrove Chapel, Alverstone, at 11am, Sharon and I stopped off at the farmer’s market and …
After the heavy snows that preceded Woman’s Day a good friend of mine, Steve, took to the sky in order to re-take the famous “Beach to Berg” photo. This image was originally made famous by the late John Hone who sadly passed away recently. Steve’s new image was taken with the permission of, and in …

Thankfully the surf …
With the news of heavy snow falls on Tuesday and some light snow on Wednesday there was only one place that the Baha Boys were going to spend Woman’s Day…and that was being manly in the Berg with a little fly fishing on the side. We decided to head up slightly later than normally knowing …
The wedding got off to a relatively early start as we headed for a florist in Malvern. Not very manly, I’ll admit, but I’d offered to pick up some of the flowers for Brian’s wedding and they needed to reach the venue ASAP. When we arrived at the florist they were a little behind due …
Since Sharon’s birthday fell on a Monday this year we decided to make use of the weekend prior to head out into the bush. Sadly, due to a mountain bike race in Imfolozi, there was no accommodation available in the park. As such we booked into a small private lodge in Kuleni Game Park called …
