Walking the South African Coastline

Usually it’s me doing the walking. Not this time. My knee is in a brace and I am trying to make the most of recovery while talking to others that are using walking as a means of inspiration. Meet Damian and Damien. Two guys who left Mozambique on foot from Ponta do Ouro on 30… Read More Walking the South African Coastline

Overberg Hikes: Spooknek, Kleinmond

On Sundays I always have to urge to head for the mountains. Almost always that is. There are days that I just wish to stay in with a coffee and move over to the beach armed with a book. On the fourth Sunday in January I got up early to do a virtual walk as… Read More Overberg Hikes: Spooknek, Kleinmond

Lighthouse to Lighthouse to Lighthouse

Once a year a group of women take a 100km walk from the southern most point of Africa’s Cape Agulhas Lighthouse, past the Quoin Point Lighthouse at Buffelljagsbaai to finish just outside Gansbaai at Danger Point Lighthouse. 3 Overberg lighthouses in 4 gruelling days. I was fortunate to complete this hike for the 2nd time… Read More Lighthouse to Lighthouse to Lighthouse

Weekend Walk to 22 Waterfalls

Porterville is a small farming village dotted on a Western Cape’s agricultural canvass. 90 minutes from Cape Town on good roads with plenty of pitstop opportunities this small town offers not a few options of sights but what it does offer is of outstanding quality. We arrived in time for the unofficial Porterville ParkRun. The… Read More Weekend Walk to 22 Waterfalls

Climbing Chapman’s Peak

On a cool Saturday morning in April I joined my sisters and hiking buddies in Hout Bay.  We hiked up Chapman’s Peak for the best views one could possibly have of this stretch of South African coastline.  Not too easy, not too difficult; not too far, not too close; it was absolutely just right.  A… Read More Climbing Chapman’s Peak

Camino Talk the Walk

I walked a part of the Portuguese Camino.  Enough kilometres to get the certificate.  What an experience.  It was like having a life coach whispering words of encouragement into your ear 24/7.  Only, it was ME doing the talking. And I appreciated my own talk.  Here are some of my notes to self. Sometimes you… Read More Camino Talk the Walk

Fish River Canyon Hike – my ultimate adventure

Planning a 5 day hike in Namibia’s Fish River Canyon stretched my comfort zone to uncomfortable proportions.  It became a real dilemma of “should I stay or should I go”.  I was fairly fit, had a back pack and sleeping bag.  I should go? I went.  I came back a better person albeit a battered… Read More Fish River Canyon Hike – my ultimate adventure

To plant a vegetable garden is to believe in tomorrow said Audrey Hepburn. That and a commitment of time and effort to make sure the harvest is rewarding. Here is a friend’s special Stanford vegetable garden that has gifted me with a number of meals. Next up I am experimenting with planting tomatoes 🍅. #garden #vegatablegarden #fresh #healthyfood #view #countryliving #visitstanford #farmlife #healthy #capewhalecoast #friedatravels #plants #gardendesign #nature

Flavours of the ocean on a plate at Quayside Cabin Hermanus. It’s been revamped by the new owners and remains as authentic as always. I was told to try the platters and did just that.
