The rain gradually became heavier with the drops themselves falling more slowly and gaining opacity… And then it was snowing...

But, I needed more. I wanted more! I wanted to understand the weather patterns before a blizzard...

Experience the uncapped joy of flying down the most technical of trails with the biggest smile, exuding confidence and mastery.

Scrambling - the rather grey area between hiking and climbing - and a fairly extensive grey area at that!

Finding snow, friendship and a place to call home - for now ; )

“Happiness is only real when shared.” And in that moment of inner happiness, shared happiness, I know that it is real and true.

'In ultra running, as in life, we choose our own pain and it is then our responsibility to see it through to the end'

I will let the power of uncertainty be my drive, the beauty of life be my fuel, and my vision of The Mountain Life will serve as my compass.

Remember that everything in the Drakensberg is much bigger than it seems on the map!
