Hiking
Wondering through the mountains... with time to smell the flowers and take in the scenery.
Travelling to Tanzania 13 May 2009

Mozambique, Malawi and...
Lion's Head Night Hike 08 May 2007
Thursday 10 May Simon and Inky are heading up Lion's Head for the fun of it. No other excuse is needed really. Due to the sun setting so much earlier these days, there's not much need to rush to get to the top by sunset itself as traffic is more...
Chapmans Peak sunrise Hike 19 Mar 2007
After such a lovely sunrise hike up Lions Head on Thursday we felt that we should attempt Chapmans Peak on the Saturday morning. The weather forecast on Thursday indicated a perfect day with sunny skies but as we headed over Constantia Nek, dark...

Kalk Bay - Ronan's Well to Robin Hood 29 Nov 2006
In the mountains just above the sleepy cultural mecca that is Kalk Bay, lies a labyrinth of subterranean caves. Most of the entrances to the caves lie within the Echo Valley National Park, though rumours have it that some of the caves go all the...
Otter Trail 30 Oct 2006
The Otter Trail is rated as one of the top 10 trails in South Africa, and is popular to the point that one has to book almost 2years in advance. Inky was asked 18 months ago if she wanted to go along, hardly knowing what she would be up to so far...
