  • Battlefields and Football - Part 1 Ferries, Northern France and Ypres

     My latest trip abroad was one of these things where everything fell nicely into place. The planning started when England announced a friendly against France in Paris. Now as Paris is my least favorite city in Europe, it was always my intention to spend as little time there as possible. More

  • Battlefields and Football - Part 2 The Somme and Amiens

     I had a good nights sleep following my early start the previous day and I headed off to the Menin Gate which was just round the corner from my hotel. I wanted to take a few photos and the previous day the weather and light hadn't been right. More

  • Battlefields and Football - Part 3 Stade de France

     Amiens has a magnificent cathedral in the centre and some lovely cafes and bars down by the river. It looks like a lovely place to spend summer evenings. However, it was an early morning in March so all I was interested in was a few pictures before heading south towards Paris and meeting up with my friends for the friendly international between France and England.More

  • Mala Mala Game Reserve

     After the 1 hour flight from Johannesburg, the journey from Nelspruit took around 2.5 hours but once we arrived, it proved to be well worth the effort. Mala Mala was South Africa's first private game reserve and borders Kruger National Park's western boundary and is well established as a premier safari destination in southern Africa and the world.More

  • Danger UXB

     On Sunday, I went for a quiet walk with my family at the seaside town of Felixstowe. It was an uneventful afternoon and there was a lot of work being down to strengthen the sea defences there.More

  • Hells Kitchen in South Africa

     15 million people live in the gateway to South Africa but unfortunately we got to spend very little time here. For the rest of the group I was travelling with, this was to be their final night in South Africa before heading back home while I would be heading south into KwaZulu Natal for a second week in South Africa.More

  • Dawsons Game & Trout Lodge

     Dawson Lodge is situated near Badplaas about 4 hours from Johannesburg in a beautiful setting surrounded by hills and a trout lake. In addition to the Lodge, there is also a cottage next to the trout lake which is ideal for anyone who wants to fish for trout. Most of the group stayed at the Lodge while I stayed down at the cottage.More

  • Cleopatras Mountain Farmhouse

     Hidden away in the stunning Drakensburg mountains in the Kamberg Valley near Giant's Castle, you will find Cleopatras Mountain Farmhouse. This exclusive Gourmet mountain lodge is 200km from Durban airport and 450km from Johannesburg airport. I was driving down from Johannesburg and the journey took me just over 5 hours down the N3 toll road before turning off at Mooi River.More

  • Fugitives Drift Lodge

     In South Africa, I was determined to see the battlefields of the Anglo Zulu war of 1879. Fugitives Drift was founded by David Rattray along with his wife Nicky and created an award winning lodge for visitors to savour this amazing story. Tragically, in January 2007, David was killed by an intruder but Fugitives Drift is a wonderful legacy to something he started with his wife Nicky and it still continues today.More
