On Sunday morning I woke up at around 5:30am to far more light than I expected. By 6am I was at Nick’s place where Clinton picked us up and we headed for Kamberg, stopping of course for a cup of coffee and a doughnut. We arrived at Kamberg at around 7:30am in thick mist and …
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 …
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 …
The Sterkies trip had been put together in June/July and everyone had high expectations. I therefore donned my Superman shirt for day one just to prove to everyone that I meant business. Game on!

Nothing like some Sterkies gold caught on the fly rod!
I picked up Bruce and Nick at 5:30am and we began the long journey to Reekie Lyn, a 5km section of the Mooi River just below Kamberg, which we would be fishing for the day. Sadly things got off to a bad start when the rain started bucketing down before we’d even reached Cato Ridge. …
In breaking with the “lazy Friday at home” tradition, Sharon and I braved the world of kids and headed for MacNicol’s. For those of you who are not familiar with the camping scene, you basically get two types of camp sites. Type 1 is quiet, relaxing and normally spacious and relatively empty. Facilities are minimal, …
The next morning Nick picked me up at 5am, with the jet-ski, and we headed down to Blue Lagoon to try and bash a few Garrick. We dropped the ski on the beach, parked the car, and were ready to go. Thankfully we’d been given a 4-stroke ski and were looking forward to some smoke …
It all started on Friday, which was Sharon’s 30th. On the way home I stopped off at Woolworths and picked up a huge bunch of flowers (my dad and Cassia had sent me money and asked to get her flowers as well as a gift). When I walked through the door carrying the flowers Sharon’s …
