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 …
Over the long weekend in June 2011 the Baha Boys headed to the Boston\Dargle area to fish the first ever Boston Fly Fishing Festival. Having never fished a competition before the drive up was with filled with both excitement and questions. We were unsure of the format of the competition and were left wondering how …
It was a somewhat exciting weekend for me since it started with the hope of me finally getting a car, and a manly one at that. Sharon and I climbed out of bed at 4:30am, had a quick shower, and then headed for the airport. I’d found a car in Joburg which had gone through …
Sunday’s fishing was as exciting as always. Nick’s (read Tarryn’s) Terios had gone in to have the tow bar changed but he had luckily been lent another Terios. After picking me up we stopped for the usual cup of coffee before heading for Uitzicht in the Kamberg area. The temperature was -1 when we passed …
Having not been on our bikes in over 6 months we spent Friday evening cleaning, oiling and setting them up for Saturday morning’s race. Other than that it was a chilled evening and thankfully everything was a go for the ride. Saturday morning started with us riding 5kms to the start of the Compendium Mountain …
We arrived at uShaka 30 minutes prior to the start of our 20km event. Sadly after a little chaos we somehow ran out of time and somehow managed to miss the start (albeit by only 200 meters as we ran to catch up). Other than that the walk was well organised and ran smoothly. The …
Thankfully I woke up feeling somewhat better than I had when I fell asleep (dreaded sickness). I packed up my kit, got into the car and headed for Nick’s place. Two hours later and we were pulling into Giant’s Castle Nature Reserve. It was 6 degrees and the water in the Bushmans River looked chilly. …
The long awaited Pilanesberg trip finally arrived and even Thursday night’s packing seemed exciting…well, at first anyway. After having packed the majority of Sharon’s and my kit into the trailer my mom finally arrived with her kit. FAIL! I’m not entirely sure that a bedside lamp (including lampshade) was necessary, but we eventually managed to …
