 Mountain Mail Order (Seven Summits) is moving from it’s current location in Westlake to join forces with CityRock in Observatory. To celebrate, they will be offering: free climbing all day, free intro courses all day, and 20% off in the shop. [...]  I spend a LOT of time out under the sun. You will never see me actually lying around tanning (what’s with that anyway — skin cancer anyone?), but the hours of hiking, trail running, swimming, climbing and mountain biking add up. Enter Island Tribe Clear Gel Sun Protection. As soon as you squeeze [...]  I bought these Sea to Summit straps so as to strap a sleeping mat to the top of my deuter Aircontact backpack. [...]  The months of January, February and March see the Red Disa — Disa uniflora — flowering on Table Mountain! For one of the best displays of this gorgeous orchid, try the equally beautiful Myburgh’s Waterfall Ravine. [...]  The truly unpredictable Cape Town December weather did not play too much of a role in the past month’s activities, with the sun pretty much coming to the party each time! [...]  I recently went up to the Silvermine Reservoir to do some open-water swim training for February’s Xterra Triathlon. I was pleased to see that a handsome new ablution block has been constructed next to the parking lot at Silvermine Reservoir. [...]  I have wanted one of these handy little GorillaPod camera tripods for my Canon PowerShot for ages! The articulated “ball-and-socket” leg joints mean that the tripod can be adjusted to stand level on any surface, and can even be used to wrap around an object — maybe the branch of a nearby tree. [...]  I couldn’t bring myself to spend R299 on a Sea to Summit iPood (as much as I would like one), so instead bought a luminous orange Coghlan’s hiking trowel from Cape Union Mart. [...]  This sign is near the start of the 4 X 4 Trail up to Matroosberg Peak in the Matroosberg Private Nature Reserve. [...] |
