Heading for Mt Rinjani and Komodo Islands

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Time for another trip after a hectic couple of months with the World Cup taking place and the many fans who came to watch and hike Table Mountain.  August is generally a quieter month in Cape Town but not necessarily a bad time to visit - just a little luck ...

Table Mountain - snow, sun and some wind!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

As you might expect in winter we experienced a whole variety of weather conditions during the World Cup.  The last couple of days have been particularly cold on top of Table Mountain.  However 15th June was definitely the coldest with even some snow on top.  Not exactly a blanket but ...

The fans are here - and on top of Table Mountain!

Monday, June 14th, 2010

At last the wait is over and the big moment has arrived.  A good start by Bafana Bafana and a bit of a shaky start by England have been the highlights so far as well as of course a strong first match win by Germany. Other then the football I hope ...

Back from Borneo

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

Children hiking up Table Mountain

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Over the years I have hiked with many children up Table Mountain but the question is at what age should children attempt this?  As a general guide line I say about 9 years old.  I have walked with a couple of children a little younger than this but you are ...

Better weather on Table Mountain

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Well last week was one of the wettest ever recorded in November and Table Mountain was not spared.  However the unseasonal rain brought the waterfalls on the mountain back to life giving us some spectacular sights not expected at this time of year. Those who walked with me on 9th November ...

Beware of bogus guides!

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Just a warning for anyone who is booking a guided walk up Table Mountain.  There are unfortunately guides presently operating who are not qualified to guide on Table Mountain and not registered with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism that is a requirement by law. As you the client are ...
