What is coming up

  1. Climbing shoe re-sole

    Hi everyone.

    I am having my shoes resoled at Vertical World (owners of Rock Frog)
    I am willing to collect your shoes and take a big batch to them in one go.

    The prices are R325 for resole and R375 for resole+rerand per pare of shoes.

    Tie your shoes together by the laces and place a piece of paper inside one of them with your name, contact number and what you want done to the shoe.
    I also want upfront payment from you as the shoes will become my responsibility once the work is done and they expect payment.

  2. Motorcycling through Africa

     

    Richard Feher has realised a boyhood dream by completing his bike journey from Cape Town to Cairo. Richard's journey began back on 1 September at the offices of the Chris Burger Petro Jackson Fund in Newlands, Cape Town, and finished when he crossed the Nile into Cairo on 12 November.

    Here is his final entry, posted on 12 November:"At 13h30 I crossed the Nile arriving in Cairo. 

    "It’s been my boyhood dream to cross the African continent on a motorcycle since almost losing my life on one 20 years ago. That accident kept me out of reach of some goals.
