Wavecrest sunrise

The Wild Coast is literally just a couple of stone skips away from where I am based in Port Elizabeth, yet except for quick visits to Morgan Bay and Trennereys I've never explored it properly. Some people even told me that those are situated on the Mild Coast and that I would have to venture … Continue reading Wavecrest sunrise →

Unforgettable Sardinia Bay views

The view west from the top of the dune by the parking area at Sardinia Bay. It can't be denied that we have some of the most beautiful scenery in the country right here on our doorstep.

Sardinia Bay parking is getting smaller

The Sardinia Bay migrating dune has now decided that it is time to occupy the parking area as well. The entrance to the parking area now barely has space for one car to pass through and I'm sure it won't be long before a new plan will have to be made.

A taste of the Wildsfees

I was looking for a video about this year's ABSA Kirkwood Wildsfees for this week's Friday Video post. Unfortunately they haven't uploaded a video for this year yet so I decided to go with a video about the 2014 Wildsfees. A couple of artists and activities may have been different, but the vibe is still … Continue reading A taste of the Wildsfees →

Sundays River Mouth

We've all driven past the Sundays River at Colchester while on the N2, but have you ever wondered what the river mouth look like. I can't say that I have actually been to the river mouth before, but I have seen it from the top of the dunes at Colchester.

A rocking Wildsfees in Kirkwood – in pictures

Every year on the last weekend of June, thousands of festinos make their way to the small Sundays River Valley town of Kirkwood for the annual Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees. The Wildsfees, in it's 14th years already, brings some of the biggest names in the Afrikaans music industry to the town and combines it with a weekend of entertainment, … Continue reading A rocking Wildsfees in Kirkwood – in pictures →

Wildsfees crowd

It's amazing to experience a festival where there are between 20 000 and 30 000 people (I haven't seen the official numbers yet) through the gates on one day. That is what happened at the ABSA Kirkwood Wildsfees on Saturday and going by the reaction of the artists I don't think they get to perform … Continue reading Wildsfees crowd →

Burning a candle during load shedding

As much as people are complaining about load shedding, we aren't allowing it to get us down. It does mean that we aren't always getting to do everything that we need to and one of those that's been neglected because of it has been my blogging. I can't only blame Eishkom though. It doesn't help that … Continue reading Burning a candle during load shedding →

The Wildsfees stage was a winner

This past weekend the ABSA Kirkwood Wildsfees took place in the Sundays River Valley (note how I didn't say Kirkwood as I thought the name is quite obvious). The Wildsfees has really become a serious contender as a "not to be missed Afrikaans music festival" with all the fringe actives and obligatory stalls and entertainment added … Continue reading The Wildsfees stage was a winner →
