Saturday morning was nice and relaxed as I watched the weather hoping it would clear by the afternoon for the KPMG business relay. Sadly this was not to be and when I headed down to the start the wind was howling and there were small patches of drizzle. I parked at the King’s Park Swimming …
On Sunday morning we climbed out of bed at 5:30. Although the race only started at 9am we needed to be at the venue by 7am to watch the Boks take on the Aussies in the semi final of the World Cup. It was great to sit in amongst some good Bok supporters at the …
Sharon and I made a last minute decision to head to Lotheni for the weekend. This meant doing a quick shop after work and packing for an early departure the next morning. We did of course follow this up with a trip to the Plantation’s pub to watch the rugby and enjoy a quick steak, …
Sunday morning started at the normal 5:30am for me when I packed the car and headed for the Kamberg Nature Reserve. Nick was heading up Sani Pass and so I’d decided to take the opportunity to explore the Mooi River which we’d always ignored for some unknown reason. Sharon was originally going to join me …
Sunday saw Nick and I head out fishing once again. The rivers opened on the 1st September and we thought we’d go and look at a section of the Mooi River I’d fished two or so years ago. After the usual 5:30 start and mandatory cup of Wild Bean coffee we hit our first glitch…road …
On Sunday morning I picked up Nick and Clinton and we made our way (via the coffee shop) to Kamberg for some Trout fishing. It was Clinton’s first time with a fly stick so we were all hoping he’d pick it up quickly and get into at least one fish. By 8am we were all …
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. Anyway, finally Sharon took the initiative and booked a table for the two of us, and Wayne and …
I was up early on Sunday and Nick, Clinton, Neville and I headed down to Clansthal to try and bash a few Wave Garrick. After diverting our route to pick up a garage pie we got somewhat lost and ended up discovering that Clansthal has more than just a beach and campsite. Sadly the shore …
Sharon and I got off to our usual early start as we headed for Ithala Game Reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal. We headed north on the N2 until we were driving along the shore of Jozini Dam; this was after all the best possible route according to my Garmin. We then made a left and suddenly …
It’s not often that you have a weekend worthy of a trip report…this was one such weekend. 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 …
