Eating in India

Eating in India

I just completed my third business trip to India in 3 months. It’s been a remarkable experience travelling to India so frequently. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to travel the country as I’ve been stuck in the office, but it’s been great none the less. I’ve gotten to experience some of Pune, a lot of …

Snow Hunting at Meadow Lane

Snow Hunting at Meadow Lane

Having had an immensely successful snow adventure 2 years ago (click here for the full report), we decided to give it another go when we heard that large falls were predicted over for the weekend. I took some unplanned, last minute leave and booked accommodation at a venue called Meadow Lane, just outside of Underberg. …

Running in Pune, India

Running in Pune, India

I’m currently in the enjoyable position of frequently travelling to India on business. While I spend 99% of my time in the office (or hotel), and therefore don’t get to see as much of India as I would like to, I do make every effort to get out and about as often as I can. And the best …

India! A Sensory Extravaganza!

India! A Sensory Extravaganza!

India is a sensory extravaganza! There’s no other reasonable way to describe it. The only caveat to that statement is that during my stay I only managed to spend time in two cities, Pune and New Delhi, and sadly never got to experience rural India. Would a change in my itinerary have changed my views? Probably …

So after spending a weekend with Sharon’s folks on the farm we headed south to the Umngazi River mouth. Despite it being only 130kms away as the crow flies (from the farm), it was 220kms …

Family Fun at Gooderson Monk’s Cowl

Family Fun at Gooderson Monk’s Cowl

Being the queen of FOMO, my sister made a last minute decision to fly out to South Africa to meet her niece (or perhaps visit her mother, who knows). We therefore decided to treat her to a weekend away, Prior-family style. Sadly my attempt to turn this into a fishing trip failed and we chose Gooderson …

The Xplorer UHTFC Festival 2016

The Xplorer UHTFC Festival 2016

This year the UHTFC decided to host it’s inaugural UHTFC Xplorer Fly Fishing Festival. Apparently the club has hosted festivals in the past, but these were well before my time and have long since been forgotten by club members and the committee alike. Bruce Taylor put his hand up and did the majority of the planning …

The Boston Fly Fishing Festival 2016

The Boston Fly Fishing Festival 2016

“I can safely say that the Boston Fly Fishing Festival is by far my favourite festival.” Yes, it’s a line that I often start my annual Boston post with, but it remains true. And this year was no exception, despite what were very tough fishing conditions. We got off to a great start by entering …
