Yesterday late afternoon we took a drive out to Blue Horizon Bay to do a little Geocaching and this is the view of Lady's Slipper mountain from the road once you are off the N2 and heading up the hill.

Walking up Lady’s Slipper
In a way, walking up Lady's Slipper has become for Port Elizabeth like walking up Lion's Head in Cape Town. At one stage only a few people did it, but lately it has become a very popular outing. Not very far distance wise, but a tough cookie as far as terrain. It has been on … Continue reading Walking up Lady’s Slipper
The Lady’s Slipper
For years I would drive along the N2 past Lady's Slipper mountain looking at it and wondering where the actual slipper was. At one stage I thought it may be the peak standing out over the mountain, but I just could not see it. That was until I heard that the slipper isn't visible from … Continue reading The Lady’s Slipper
The view from Lady Slipper
We all know Lady Slipper. When you head west out of Port Elizabeth (or vice versa) on the N2 you drive right past it. But have you ever been on top of the mountain. The easiest way up is by following the road up to the towers from the back of the mountain and this … Continue reading The view from Lady Slipper
Geocaching at Falcon Rock
On Thursday I posted a picture of Falcon Rock where I mentioned that while there I went to look for the Geocache hidden at the rock. As we were climbing up to the top I gave my camera to Drama Princess to hold and afterwards noticed that she took this picture as I was climbing up. … Continue reading Geocaching at Falcon Rock
The real Falcon Rock
We stopped by Falcon Rock Country Restaurant for the first time on Saturday and discovered a really nice and affordable spot. Just after we got there I headed off along the trails to go and find a Geocacher and along the way discovered the actual Falcon Rock. If it wasn't for all the gum trees … Continue reading The real Falcon Rock
Lady Slipper
Ever wondered what it looks like from the top of Lady? This is the view from just below the big Telkom tower looking west. It was slightly cloudy and very windy when I was up there but on a clear day you would be able to see Jeffreys Bay in the distance.
Lady Slipper protea
Lady Slipper is covered in fynbos and its always great to see flowering proteas in the wild, so I couldn't help but to take a picture of one with the Telkom tower on top of the mountain in the background.
Telkom tower on Lady Slipper
I've seen the Telkom tower on top of Lady Slipper from the N2 and always wondered how to get there. The other day I got to go up the access road at the back of Lady Slipper on a Geocaching expedition and saw the tower up close for the first time. Much more impressive than … Continue reading Telkom tower on Lady Slipper
Lady Slipper hut
Sometimes you discover things at places that make you wonder why its there. I had one of those moments on top of Lady Slipper recently. Close to the Telkom tower, standing all on its own, is this little hut. Just one square room with windows on all sides. It has stunning views all around but … Continue reading Lady Slipper hut
