 A first-hand account from the victims of a mugging on 21 March 2013. This is the first time I am hearing of this, more than 2 months later, demonstrating that crime is ongoing in TMNP but is not being reported to the public. Please spread word of this. And be careful out there. [...]  I originally heard of this incident via a Tweet. iOL.co.za have since posted a report online. Hout Bay / Sandy Bay / Karbonkelberg are a high-risk, no go area. [...]  I am borrowing heavily from Bryan Allot’s post on >_iTrainedToday and Owen’s post(s) on Wildrunner. Bryan’s recent experience really highlighted some of the aspects of trail safety I was blogging about in my post Compulsory kit requirements for trail running. [...]  I have had my Petzl Tikkina2 for more than 3 years and still use it regularly. I went looking for a more powerful headlamp, and decided on the 200 Lumen Black Diamond Icon headlamp. [...]  The body of a man was found in in the vicinity of Grotto Ravine on Table Mountain. He apparently set out on Monday morning, and his body was found on Tuesday. It appears that the man was hiking on his own.

Bravo SANParks / SAP / Minister of Defence unlike you who who point fingers at each other I am pointing my finger at all of you! [...]  Reports via Twitter of a cyclist attacked close to Rhodes Memorial as well as two people robbed at knifepoint at Vredehoek Quarry. [...]  I carry a pretty random assortment of first aid items in two bags, one in my car, and the other in my backpack when hiking. Included in both are Burnshield burn dressings, described as “Sterile Trauma Hydrogel Burn Dressings”. [...]  The matter of compulsory kit for trail running events has been hotly debated in the past. Whilst it is debatable as to what exactly should be required, I believe that this this is entirely necessary and that that organisers need to specify a minimum gear list, and most importantly, enforce it.
